About the Academy
“I got a lot of enjoyment from the disc... a really good recital... there's a lot to enjoy here, and admire.”Richard Morrison, BBC Radio 3 'Building a Library' (Song Circle)
The Academy was founded in 1822, and ever since has trained versatile and resourceful musicians with the skills they need in the ever-changing profession.
Great traditions do not guarantee future success, but at the Academy they do inspire us to achieve an especially happy blend of continuity and cutting-edge work.
Cherish as we do our distinguished alumni, fine teachers and enterprising study programmes, at the Academy we never simply rest on our reputation.
