Every boy at Hampton is encouraged to fulfil his full musical potential. There are opportunites to perform at every level
within the School, nationally and internationally. Student performances are of an exceptional standard due to the motivation and commitment of the Music Staff and the skills and abilities of the boys themselves.
Facilities
The 450 Hall
Our recently opened 450 Hall is a concert venue to rival any School in the country. Designed to seat an audience of 380 people it offers a professional standard platform for Hampton boys to showcase their musical ability. The specialist acoustic panels create a warm, reverberant atmosphere suited to all types of music making. The 450 Hall also has an orchestra pit, making it ideal for Musical Theatre.
Other Facilities
The Music Department has several private tuition and practice rooms and spaces for ensemble and choral rehearsals in the 450 Hall and in the newly refurbished Garrick Building. The School has three grand pianos including the recently purchased Steinway Concert Grand for the 450 Hall.
