There is nothing like experiencing our vibrant building, talking to our staff and students and above all, hearing our music, to help you decide if this is the right place for you.

We have now concluded our Discovery Events for this year. Please check back here in the near future for our 2025 schedule. In the mean time, the Academy is open.

Explore some other options to come and see us below:

Attend an event

Throughout the year, we have hundreds of concerts, masterclasses and recitals, which are open to the public. Over 75% of these events are free to attend.

Arrange a visit

We may also be able to accommodate a personal visit to the Academy.

If this is something you would like to arrange, please get in touch via the relevant departmental administrator.
