January Light: City Halls
In Glasgow, the City Halls contain a number of concert venues rather than the seat of municipal government – that’s the City Chambers. The grand hall, above, opened in 1841 and was extensively renovated about 15 years ago. The beautiful chandeliers supply roof-light, there’s some spotlight, and also a bit of projected-light on the back wall showing the orchestra’s name. On this occasion, we were awaiting the delight of a performance of Mozart’s Requiem. Linked to Becky’s January Squares challenge – words ending in light.

You did well with this trio of light words Anabel.

Neil got in first, with his remark about the name on the wall. Attending a “posh” concert in a hall such as this is still to be achieved by me, one day!

We are lucky in Glasgow to have two large concert halls, as well as many less formal venues.

I love these lights that make it look like a delicate chandelier but probably much cheaper than one of the typical chandeliers one sees in halls. How was the actual concert?

It was wonderful! I’ve let John know that if I go first he’s to organise a full orchestral and choral performance at my send off!

These are unusual lights for this sort of venue – quite delicate.

Yes, they made a nice job of the refurbishment 15 years ago and it’s holding up well.

Projecting the orchestra’s name on the back wall is a fine touch. I like the curved pattern of the letters too.
Hi Anabel. Enjoy the day.

Ha! I thought about reflected light in the ceiling too, but decided not to overdo it …

Jude was going to say that you are over-egging it now! But all lovely lights even the reflected-light! In fact the whole hall is flooded with light 🙂

It’s a lovely hall – and more important than the light, the acoustics are good too.
