Our concerts feature music from all of the major exam boards, and we offer tickets from just £5 for performances at Cadogan Hall and Royal Albert Hall and £7 for concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. Staff and student ticket prices are the same, but students must outnumber staff. Please reserve through our dedicated groups booking team at This email address is being protected from spambots.
