Famous Sydney live music venue City Recital Hall is set to score a multi-million dollar boost from the City Of Sydney just a month out from its 20th anniversary.
The City confirmed today that the Angel Place venue will received $4.2 million in funding, which will go toward renovations and improvements on lighting and audio systems, as well as upgrades to its green rooms, flooring, bathroom and bar area.
"The City of Sydney plays a unique role in shaping Sydney’s cultural life, by nurturing community-based and independent organisations to feed the seedbeds of culture, as well as supporting established institutions in our city,” Lord Mayor Clover Moore said.
“The City Recital Hall is one of Sydney’s most culturally significant concert halls, located in the heart of the city. As it approaches its 20th anniversary and continues to expand and diversify its programming, we are proud to increase our support for this vital cultural infrastructure.
“With the light rail coming online soon and a vibrant nightlife returning to the streets of our city centre, I know that the City Recital Hall will become a ‘must visit’ cultural destination for tourists and Sydneysiders alike – offering concerts and events across a range of art forms and music genres.”
The venue has previously played host to shows from the likes of Paul Kelly, Damien Rice, Hiatus Kaiyote and Katie Noonan, while acts including Megan Washington, Angie McMahon and Mojo Juju are scheduled to play at the Hall in the coming months.
