Enjoy live performances from some of London’s most talented young classical and jazz musicians, set against the unique backdrop of our iconic collection. As part of the Museum’s work as an education and heritage charity, we’re equipping young classical and jazz musicians at the start of their careers with real-world performance experience. In turn, offering you a unique musical experience as part of your visit. On selected Friday afternoons the Museum will be hosting a performance from one of ten young soloists/ensembles that are part of our musical programming. The up-and-coming young musicians each have an individual approach to classical and jazz music-making and are still students at Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music or Trinity Laban. Join us on Friday afternoons and experience the stories of London and its transport history, whilst enjoying a musical performance from a future rising star. Performances will pop up at different locations on each date within the Museum main galleries and are free with Museum admission - book your Annual Pass in advance.
