The Amadeus:
The Amadeus is a 150 capacity venue in Maida Vale, West London, that has been used as a rehearsal venue for theatre and classical music since 1989. The former chapel boasts a large hall with enviable acoustics and a grand piano, whilst the lower hall within the crypt is more suited to more intimate performances and rehearsals. Last year we hosted our first public event series - ‘Live At The Amadeus’ with acts such as MaSu and Redberry, Miss Baby Sol and Ed Harcourt. We are hoping to expand this series with more dance, music and theatre performances.
The Amadeus, 50 Shirland Road, London, W9 2JA.
