Classical Coffee Mornings: Vocal students from the RCM Junior Department at Royal Albert Hall

Vocal students from the Royal College of Music Junior Department will take the stage to perform solos, duets and ensembles by Handel, Mozart, Humperdinck, Massenet, Bernstein and others.

A hot drink and a pastry are included in the ticket price.

In partnership with the Royal College of Music London. Please note that Classical Coffee Mornings often sell out and tickets are rarely available to purchase on the day.

The RCMJD has a strong choral tradition, and in recent years its singers have toured extensively throughout Europe and closer to home, featuring in World Premiere performances at Temple Church and St James’s Piccadilly, and for Her Majesty The Late Queen at Westminster Abbey. Other recent highlights include a performance of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas with the RCMJD Baroque Ensemble.

The first public performance ever given by Royal College of Music musicians was in the Elgar Room. On Wednesday 2 July 1884, in the West Theatre (as it was called then), 'Mr Barton', a piano student, performed Chopin’s Ballade in A flat to open a programme that also included operatic arias by Mozart, Handel and Gluck, and chamber works by Schumann and Haydn. They are delighted to be still here over 140 years later!
