International Guitar Foundation gets new home

A new major concert venue has opened on Regent's Canal near King's Cross / St Pancras in London.

The venue, called Kings Place, houses London's first newly-built concert hall since the Barbican opened in 1982 and will form the headquarters of two celebrated London Orchestras - the London Sinfonietta and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

The International Guitar Foundation will also have it's strategic home in the new centre and will present its first annual London Guitar Festival in the Fall at the venue this autumn.
