Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, and the rooms above pubs where things start. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance

Royal Academy of Music

Britain's oldest music college, with a small free museum of instruments and student concerts most days of term.

Founded in 1822 and in this building on the Marylebone Road since 1911, it has taught, among a great many others, Simon Rattle, Felicity Lott, Harrison Birtwistle and Elton John. Students come from more than sixty countries.

Two things are open to anyone. The concerts - recitals, chamber groups, opera scenes, orchestral programmes - run through term and a large number are free. And the museum holds the Academy's instrument collection, including Cremonese violins and a room of keyboards, which is free and takes very little time to walk round.
