Concerts for schools
© Andy Paradise
The RPO welcomes thousands of schoolchildren to concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall and Cadogan Hall every year.
Our concerts feature music from all of the major exam boards, and we offer tickets from just £5* for performances at Cadogan Hall and the Royal Festival Hall and £7* at the Royal Albert Hall. Staff and student ticket prices are the same, but students must outnumber staff.
*£4 transaction fee applies
Please reserve through our dedicated groups booking team at groups@rpo.co.uk or on 020 7608 8840.
Confirmation of final numbers and payment is only needed two months before the performance. Take a look at the list of performances below, and please do get in touch if you would like to make a reservation.
