Sir – Oxford needs a purpose-built concert hall for all the excellent orchestral concerts in the city. The Sheldonian Theatre is a beautiful building but quite unsuited as a concert hall.
Oxford is a city of learning and culture. However, the recent Bodleian extension has been built in Swindon. Aylesbury now boasts a brand new theatre.
Surely the University of Oxford which is now involved in massive redevelopment on the old Radcliffe site and the science parks could fit a concert hall into the plans. It would be an asset to the University as well as the city.
All the many music lovers in the city and county who find the Sheldonian so uncomfortable would no longer have to travel to Birmingham, London or Reading to enjoy music.
