Specialties: Turner Sims Southampton is a nationally renowned concert hall and live music producing organisation. With over 75 promoted concerts a year, the venue plays a significant role in the creative scene in the South of England. The 350-seat venue based on the University of Southampton's main campus hosts a wide-ranging programme with particular focus on classical music, jazz, folk, and global music. It can be hired for recordings, rehearsals, broadcasts and events.
Turner Sims is part of the University of Southampton and gratefully acknowledges the support of Arts Council England as one of its National Portfolio Organisations. Established in 1974. In 1967 a bequest was made to the University of Southampton that was to transform the musical landscape of Southampton. The bequest by Miss Margaret Grassam Sims made provision for a hall to be built for the people of Southampton. In response to strong local support for classical performance at the time, and to allow the University Concert Society to flourish beyond the bounds of the Nuffield Theatre, it was a concert hall that was decided upon. Turner Sims opened in 1974 with a programme of 20 concerts and rapidly became a popular and well-used venue, with a loyal and supportive audience.
