If you love music or film and are a thrifty person looking for a unique experience, this is the place for you!
This is a place that can totally make you glad you are in london for a short or long period of time because the experience is terrific.
The academy of music offers FREE concerts every once in a while for the public to attend and the performers are TEENAGERS. They are very gifted individuals capable of producing beautiful music. The theatre/hall is in itself a museum of sorts because it is full of brilliant portraits of incredible musicians who have attended this prestigious academy. accompanying the art work is chandeliers that were remarkable which created a sophisticated element to the venue.
I recommend this event for 3 reasons: 1) if you love music, such as myself, you really should get out to a symphony and experience it live. the way the conductor moves and how the musicians follow his leads are incredible and very entertaining. being at a symphony is something i didnt think i would enjoy before, i thought attending rock concerts was enough for me, but this is something you need to see for yourself. 2) if you are a movie buff, you will like this because you feel like your in a movie! the venue and the music played made me think of too many films, and i felt like i was in them! from jaws, lord of the rings, indiana jones and star wars all popped into my head and made my appreciate films and musical performances even more. 3) if your cheap, like me, what else could you ask for? this is FREE!!
i cant stress it enough how fantastic this is, because these are teenagers afterall producing beautiful sounds in a disciplined manner.

I went to the Royal Academy of Music to attend the FREE performance of the Junior Symphony.
IT WAS AMAZING!!
The children were very talented and played some fabulous pieces of music. It felt like I was listening to the sound track of a film like Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, or Lord of the Rings!
The venue is in a beautiful hall full of portraits and chandeliers which creates a magical atmosphere.
The performers were very talented teenagers who played every instrument imaginable from the violin to the gong!
Best of all, the entire show was FREE!!
It was something we definitely wouldn’t have done back home, and we are so glad we had the opportunity to experience it. It was one of the most memorable things we have done in London to date.
