Guildhall is an institution that knows it has to be connected to the outside world - that's the key thing. It's not a bubble. It has roots in the city and in the world.

One minute you could be playing in the Guildhall Studio Orchestra with jazz musicians, the next you could be playing in the opera pit, then the next minute you'll be with actors doing the musical and then playing a symphony in the orchestra.

I had the opportunity to play percussion with the Guildhall Studio Orchestra which gave me the chance to learn from, and play alongside, amazing senior players, as well as to perform with the incredible Liane Carroll.

At Guildhall, they don't hold your hand, but they're going to push you to become the actor that you want to be.

It's the scale of productions that really makes Guildhall stand out. It gets to the point where you think, wow, this is massive. In other places, you just wouldn't have that opportunity to learn on the job.

Concert Hall

The Concert Hall in Milton Court is a flexible, professional venue in which instrumentalists and singers will rehearse and perform. It is suitable for solo recitals, chamber ensembles and medium-sized orchestral performances, plus rehearsals for a full-sized symphony orchestra. The Hall regularly welcomes children from inner London boroughs working with our community outreach programme, Creative Learning. 

The acoustics, designed by industry experts Arup Associates, are of the highest quality. With 608 seats on two levels, the hall has the largest audience capacity of any of the London conservatoires – comparable with the Wigmore Hall – with public performances in the heart of the City of London that showcase the talents of the School’s musicians. As well as regular student use, the Milton Court Concert Hall is used by the Barbican some for their classical and contemporary music programme, which often features Barbican’s two Associate Ensembles, the Academy of Ancient Music and Britten Sinfonia. The Concert Hall is available for commercial hire, visit the Barbican website for further information.

The Concert Hall features: 

• fully-adjustable acoustics to suit each type of performance
• a multi-functional, extendable concert platform (up to 12.4m by 13.7m)
• state-of-the-art audio and digital broadcast systems
• adaptable lighting with automated console
• integral piano lift to the concert platform
• assisted-listening system
