Deep dive into the College's creative consciousness

From hearing internationally acclaimed soloists to supporting the next generation of musical talent, the Royal College of Music’s events programme is open to you in person and online.

This autumn the RCM is reopening its doors for you to watch live performances, including highlights such as xx and xx. The Royal College of Music Museum reopens after a major redevelopment, and you can book online to interact with over 500 years of musical history – and some of our 15,000 collection items.

While you’re here, why not have a coffee in our new café or courtyard, or take home some ?

And remember that you can always watch your favourite performances, masterclasses and behind-the-scenes clips on our YouTube channel, whenever you’d like to.
