“Plans for a £90m refurbishment of London’s Royal Festival Hall have been unveiled, with the news that £73m of the total sum has been raised so far… The Arts Council have given £25m to the project, while Heritage Lottery’s donation is £20m.” The aim is to give the hall an entirely new look, and in the process, create a world-class acoustical venue for London, which despite multiple tries, has never managed to build one.
