World-leading musical excellence fusing heritage & innovation

Hear extraordinary talent and support the next generation of musicians with the Royal College of Music’s events programme.

Summer Season at the RCM embraces a festival feel with a rich array of performances. Our talented students share the stage with world-class musicians including legendary jazz drummer Gregory Hutchinson and charismatic violinist Maxim Vengerov, whilst the RCM Symphony Orchestra performs Britten’s Four Sea Interludes under the baton of Kirill Karabits.

Why not visit our Museum, too? Hear the story behind one of music’s most famous acoustic guitars in rock history – Kurt Cobain’s Martin D-18E - in a unique exhibition exploring Nirvana’s groundbreaking MTV Unplugged performance.

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 here, enjoy some time out in our spacious café and courtyard, and take home a memento of your visit from the RCM Shop.

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.
