Historical Performance

‘This is my first year of study at the Academy and I am enjoying it immensely. To be surrounded by such wonderful musicians (staff and students) is truly a privilege and the lively atmosphere within the department makes it a perfect base from which to build contacts and apply for auditions.


The course is also a place for ideas; coming straight from reading music at university, I have found ‘performance practice’ classes to be a brilliant way of uniting the study of music history with the very practical approach to decision-making that you need for a career as a musician.


Some of the highlights of my time here so far have been concerts taking place as part of the Kohn Foundation Bach Cantata Series, which I always find to have an amazing energy. On top of this orchestral playing, there are almost unlimited opportunities for chamber music and the department is of a size that tends to create tight-knit groups which outlive their existence within the walls of the Academy. As a place to form lasting musical partnerships, it really is unbeatable.’
