World renowned piano manufacturers, C. Bechstein, will be marking the opening of its flagship centre in Manchester’s Northern Quarter with a prestigious launch event on May 19th 2022.

While this event is invitation only, the public will be able to attend a welcome evening on Thursday 26th May, as well as enjoy special opening offers on pianos at the C. Bechstein Centre Manchester until the end of June.

Following a substantial investment, the centre comprises a state-of-the-art showroom, housing a range of world-class C. Bechstein, W. Hoffmann and Zimmerman pianos to suit a range of spaces and budgets.

Alongside the showroom, the centre also boasts six sound-insulated practice studios and an intimate recital space, allowing pianists across the north of England dedicated space to learn, practice and showcase their proficiency.

Housed in a magnificent 9,000 sq ft showroom which is part of the Transmission House development, the C. Bechstein Centre Manchester is the first purpose-built multi-use centre to be launched in the UK since Bechstein Hall, now known as the prestigious Wigmore Hall, which opened in 1901.

The launch event will bring together notable guests from the northern classical music scene, who will be able to view the exciting unveiling of commissioned artwork by Manchester-born artist Stewy, known internationally for his large mural and stencil pieces.

Stuart Kernaghan, managing director of the C. Bechstein Centre Manchester, said: “Given Manchester’s long-standing history and relationship with music, it is undoubtedly the perfect location to open our new flagship store.

“The launch represents an exciting time for C. Bechstein, and we’re pleased to be able to offer pianists across the North West the opportunity to view, purchase and even practice on some of the most beautiful pianos in the industry.”

The C. Bechstein Centre Manchester is open Monday to Saturday, with recitals held on selected evenings. For more information about the pianos, the recital space or for any upcoming events, visit: https://www.bechstein.co.uk/
