Performance Opportunities

Performance is a cornerstone of the music programme at The Purcell School, and in an average year our students will take part in over 200 concerts. We offer a wealth of performance opportunities from regular concerts, recitals and masterclasses to competitions and festivals.

One of the life-changing experiences of attending The Purcell School is our proximity to London and the opportunity to make music with other similarly talented young musicians on world-renowned stages. We hold over 200 concerts annually, from full-size Symphony Orchestras to trios and solo lunchtime concerts. Performances are held on some of the country’s most prestigious concert platforms, including Queen Elizabeth Hall, Cadogan Hall, Wigmore Hall and Milton Court, as well as prominent stages which reflect the reality and diversity of life in the music profession, such as Pizza Express Jazz Club, St John’s Smith Square and St James’s Piccadilly.
