At the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, we are passionate about nurturing and developing musical talent. That’s why we are part of a local cooperative of Brent organisations responsible for the design of Brent Music Academy, a programme that empowers and trains young musician for careers in the music industry.

Brent Music Academy offers two pathways to guide young people on their musical journeys:

Performance Pathway (ages 8-19): Develop your instrumental or vocal skills under the guidance of experienced musicians from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra membership. Gain the performance experience and technical expertise needed to excel on the stage.

Industry Pathway (ages 14-19): Explore the exciting world of music production, music business, and other industry-related skills. Learn from professionals and gain the knowledge to launch a successful career behind the scenes.

Brent Music Academy is a fantastic opportunity for young people in Brent to develop their talents, explore their passion for music, and gain the skills and experience they need to succeed in the music industry.

Find out more about Brent Music Academy, ways to get involved, or reach out to their team.

At the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, we are proud to support the Brent Music Academy and its mission to inspire the next generation of musicians alongside our fellow partners: Brent Music Service, Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, Brent Black Music Coop, Brent Youth Foundation.

Thank you to our supporters.

Brent Music Academy is generously supported by the John Lyon’s Charity, with additional support from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Brent Music Service.
