Music
Music students and staff come from all over the world to study and teach in the unique environment at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. We’re in a major international city with two of the world’s finest concert halls (Town Hall and Symphony Hall) and a world class orchestra (City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra).
Alongside the specialist training that we provide, you’ll benefit from the city's constant stream of visiting international soloists – many of whom give masterclasses at the Conservatoire.
