The Royal Academy of Music, Britain's senior conservatoire, trains outstanding students for all professional opportunities for the 21st century - ranging from ‘period' performance to musical theatre, community-based initiatives and working with cutting-edge technology.
The Academy's close links to Kings Place are both geographically and culturally based, and they are delighted to be a key partner in concert life, community projects and business placements. These inaugural concerts reflect the range and vitality of musical life at the Academy - including virtuosic solo performances, a collaboration with Academy Fellowship holders the Badke String Quartet, and Jazz department students working alongside the renowned trumpeter and Academy Head of Jazz, Gerard Presencer.
