The deal, apparently, was as good as done. However, amid the swirling financial uncertainty that has followed the Brexit vote, it always seemed unlikely that the City of London , which is already a generous benefactor of the Barbican, would easily find the sums necessary for such an ambitious scheme. The fact remains that London already has plenty of concert halls, including more medium-sized ones than it realistically needs and can convincingly fill most of the time, and two respectable, if not truly exceptional, full-sized ones in the Barbican Hall and the Royal Festival Hall.
Potentially, London already has two first-rate arts complexes, even if one of them, the Southbank Centre , seems more interested these days in functioning as a drop-in centre and internet cafe than in presenting the year-round programme of top-quality music-making it was designed for.
Had the Southbank Centre been fulfilling its proper role effectively in recent years, one suspects, attracting the full range of international talent it should, then the clamour for yet another space across the river might have been less insistent.
Meanwhile, the Barbican continues to go from strength to strength and offer an ever-increasing range of world-class music as well as theatre. It has been so successful in recent years, one can understand why Kenyon and his team were so keen to add another venue to their roster.
