The Reid Concert Hall is a small music venue in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located in the south-western corner of Bristo Square about 0.53 kilometres (0.33 mi) south of the Royal Mile, and is part of the University of Edinburgh. Originally opened in 1859 as the Reid School of Music by the university's professor of music, John Donaldson (1789-1865), it was designed by the Scottish Architect David Cousin and is a Category A listed building.[1][2] The hall is named after General John Reid, an army officer and musician who founded the Chair of Music (Reid Professor of Music) at the university.[3] The Reid Concerts take place every 13 February.
