Classical Coffee Mornings
at the Elgar Room,
Royal Albert Hall
April - June 2010
In conjunction with the nearby Royal College of Music, the Royal Albert Hall is putting on a wonderful series of Sunday morning classical concerts in the Elgar Room, which reopened at the end of 2009. The series gives the students from the College an opportunity to showcase their talents and interact with their audience in this intimate setting. The connection between the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal College of Music is long-established - in fact, it was way back in 1882 that students from the College first held a fortnightly recital in the same space!
A perfect way to enjoy a relaxing Sunday morning, with a coffee and a pastry also included in the ticket price!
