1. Title: "A 1930s Symphony of Sound and Architecture: BBC Broadcasting House's Concert Hall from the Stage" 2.. This evocative photograph, taken in May 1935, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the heart of BBC Broadcasting House during the 1930s. The focus of the image is the Concert Hall, as viewed from the stage, revealing its stunning Art Deco interior and modern, raked auditorium. The Concert Hall, an essential component of the BBC's broadcasting complex, was designed by the renowned architects, Percy and Sylvia Thomas, and opened in 1932. This architectural masterpiece was built to accommodate live music broadcasts, providing the perfect acoustic environment for orchestras and soloists. The photograph showcases the Concert Hall's impressive seating arrangement, with its raked auditorium designed to ensure every seat offered an unobstructed view of the stage. The stage itself is adorned with music stands, ready for the next performance. In the foreground, the iconic clock and steps add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the scene. The Concert Hall's Art Deco design is evident in the sleek lines, geometric shapes, and ornate detailing of the building's interior. The use of space is expertly balanced, creating a harmonious blend of form and function. This photograph serves as a testament to the BBC's commitment to both artistic and architectural excellence during the 1930s. The image also highlights the Concert Hall's versatility, as it was not only used for live music broadcasts but also for various other events, including speeches, lectures, and even comedy shows. This photograph captures a moment in time when the BBC's Broadcasting House was at the forefront of innovation, merging the worlds of music, architecture, and broadcasting in a truly captivating way.
