Practice

The University Music Centre promotes a wide-ranging programme for performers and listeners. It is based near Old College in the Old Assembly Rooms. Within this elegant Georgian building - which is also the home of the Centre of Continuing Education - the Joseph Parry Hall provides a splendid setting for small-scale concerts and has been much used for recital broadcasts by the B.B.C.

The Centre has numerous practice and teaching rooms and is equipped with pianos, harps, a two-manual electronic organ, a harpsichord, a chamber organ and percussion and other instruments. The library in nearby Old College houses the extensive sheet-music collection, which has a particularly strong holding of chamber and orchestral music. A good stock of music books can be found in the Hugh Owen Library - and, of course, the enormous resources of the National Library of Wales are close at hand. Several residential halls have pianos and facilities for individual and group practice.
