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.
Take a look at the list of performances below, and please do get in touch with our dedicated groups booking team via the enquiry form below, at groups@rpo.co.uk or on 020 7608 8840 if you would like to make a reservation.
*A £4 transaction fee applies (charged once per order).
Staff and student ticket prices are the same, but students must outnumber staff.
Confirmation of final numbers and payment is only needed two months before the performance.
You can view our full terms and conditions here.
