The oldest custom-built concert hall in Europe, it opened its doors to the public for the first time in 1748. By the 1870s, it was being used for weekly rehearsals by the Oxford Philharmonic Society and its future as a musical venue was further secured after 1910 when the Oxford University Musical Union obtained a lease on the building. While Wadham College owns the Holywell Music Room, the use of this room is divided between the Faculty of Music and the College. The Faculty makes use of the room during University Term Time and Wadham during vacations, with each using its own discretion regarding policy and charges. classical classical contemporary music gigs - acoustic venue Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:02:55 +0000 Breeze Murdoch 4913 at http://movingtone.com http://movingtone.com/events/speech-project <div class="event-nodeapi"><div class="event-start"><label>Start: </label>3 Mar 2012 - 20:00</div></div> <div class="event-nodeapi"><div class="event-end"><label>End: </label>3 Mar 2012 - 22:00</div></div> <div class="event-nodeapi"><div class="event-tz"><label>Timezone: </label>Etc/GMT</div></div> <p>'Music that transforms the spoken words of folk legends.'
