About

Hear extraordinary talent and support the next generation of musicians with the Royal College of Music’s events programme. Spring Early Music highlights include performances by RCM alumni and the latest BBC Next Generation Baroque Ensemble Bellot Ensemble, a concert performance of Handel's operatic masterpiece Acis and Galatea, and more.

About RCM Events:

The RCM's Spring Season bursts with energy, festivals, and exciting collaborations. Chamber music takes centre stage, with visits from Douglas Boyd and musicians from the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, alongside a sparkling revue of Rodgers and Hammerstein classics with Wayne Marshall.

Enjoy orchestral debuts from Lawrence Renes, Anna-Maria Helsing and Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, alongside another stellar line-up of visiting artists in our masterclass series, including Sir Stephen Hough, Stefan Dohr and Edith Wiens.

Why not visit their Museum, too? Join a guided tour and explore over 500 years of music-making, or attend chamber performances on historical instruments whilst surrounded by priceless musical artefacts.

Families and young people can join in by experiencing the thrill of workshops and performances run by the RCM Museum and RCM Sparks, our learning and participation programme. While you’re there, enjoy some time out in the spacious café and courtyard, and take home a memento of your visit from the RCM Shop.

And remember – you can always watch your favourite performances, masterclasses and behind-the-scenes clips on their YouTube channel, whenever you wish.
