The London Transport Museum hosting a vibrant new programme of weekly live classical and jazz music performances this season. A line up of talented young musicians from the best London conservatoires – Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, and Trinity Laban – will perform lunch time miniconcerts amidst the museum’s iconic collection of historic vehicles.
Located in one of the most visited parts of London, in the heart of Covent Garden, this hidden gem of a place will transform into a stage giving those promising classical and jazz artists the opportunity to gain invaluable performance experience in front of a diverse audience of all ages.
All performances will take place in the London Transport Museum’s gallery at 2pm every Friday, apart from school holidays. Visit the museum’s website to meet the performers and to plan your visit.
Friday performances are free with museum admission. An annual pass allows for unlimited visits to the museum for a year and includes entries to some of the special family friendly events at the museum during school holidays too.
Bringing classical and jazz music to the Museum is just one part of its new art, culture and design programming. The Museum is also set to resume London transport’s tradition of commissioning talented artists to create posters promoting public transport as a way to discover things to see and do in the capital. A parade of family friendly activities this Easter will celebrate 25 years of Transport for London (TfL), and a new theatre production will be launching at the Museum later this year.
