Chris Seabrooke Music Hall

The Wits Chris Seabrooke Music Hall is a concert venue located at the University of the Witwatersrand in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. The hall was opened on 3 March 2022 as part of the university's centenary celebrations. Students and staff from Wits Music performed including associate Professors Malcolm Nay, Carlo Mombelli and Chantal Willie-Petersen. The music venue was funded through support from businessman and Wits alumnus Chris Seabrooke, after whom the concert hall is named. Designed by Cohen and Garson architects, the approximately 180-seat venue is used for concerts, student recitals, chamber music, jazz performances, and festivals hosted by the Wits School of Arts. The venue combines acoustic design, a contemporary performance auditorium and a converted heritage building that is associated with early Johannesburg.
