Thanks to a transformational gift from The Tung Foundation, one of the project’s leading philanthropic donors, the Tung Auditorium is a 400-seat, acoustically optimised music performance space, capable of facilitating full orchestras and able to function as a teaching space in its own right.
The Auditorium is being developed as a high-performance acoustic space to support the requirements of the University’s Department of Music and will exist as a public-facing space for concerts outside of teaching time. It will be a venue that is rooted in, and has a positive contribution to, Liverpool’s bustling and varied music scene.
As the Head of Music, Professor Catherine Tackley, outlined in her vision for the Centre, "it's important that we continue to facilitate and resource opportunities for our students to perform and to hear their compositions played professionally, and that means giving them somewhere perfectly suited to that, like The Tung Auditorium".
In August 2019, the University's Name A Seat Campaign was launched to raise funds for the project.
We invite you to take a look inside The Tung Auditorium through this artist's impression from project architects, Ellis Williams.
