The new Birmingham Conservatoire has just opened to universal acclaim in the city’s Eastside Quarter.

The new institute replaces the old conservatoire in Adrian Boult Hall in Chamberlain Square, which was demolished as part of Birmingham’s regeneration project.

Birmingham Conservatoire is a five-storey building and features a 500-seat concert hall, a black-box studio called The Lab and an 80-seater Eastside Jazz Club - plus more than 70 teaching practice rooms.

Alongside rehearsal rooms and teaching spaces, Birmingham Conservatoire also has a wide range of meeting and events facilities.

The main Concert Hall features a raised stage platform and raked seating for up to 493 delegates with a small balcony.

Smaller spaces include the Recital Hall seating up to 250 delegates theatre style and The Lab seating 150 theatre style.

The eight spacious performance studios look particularly attractive. Flooded with natural daylight they are open, flexible rooms, with capacities from 30-60 delegates. Each is equipped with full seminar and meeting facilities.

Equipment available to hire includes laser projectors and screens, digital lecterns, surround sound and integrated wireless microphone systems.

A full in-house catering service is available… and Birmingham Conservatoire offers live music or a small theatrical performance during lunch-breaks, or performance team building workshops.

Birmingham Conservatoire is located in Jennens Road at Millennium Point.  It is a short walk from both Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Moor Street stations. There is a multi-storey carpark adjacent.
