Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Wilton's Music Hall

The second of violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved's Soundbox series once again took place in the exposed-brick Green Room above the bar at Wilton's Music Hall.

Wilton's Music Hall in London describes itself as "the city's hidden stage", and rightly so.
