We have vast experience in the smooth running of comfortable rehearsal facilities for the music profession and our strong legacy dates back to the establishment of Belsize Music Rooms in 1997. Our premier music rooms, which can accommodate up to fifty people, are the first choice for orchestras, opera and media companies, teachers and large numbers of independent professionals.
Work has started on a new piano showroom on Grays Inn Road for Peregrine’s Pianos. The premises, previously a restaurant, are adjacent to the present building and will be called “Little Peregrine.” An event to mark the “Little Peregrine” project was held in Grays Inn Road on Sunday 5th February. Attended by a capacity of over fifty customers and trades people, the afternoon included music performances of Brahms, Sibelius and Jolivet, specialist introductions to Schimmel and August Förster pianos and hot buffet food in the new premises. This video is a "fly on the wall" coverage of the event.
