Highlights from the RA Collection
Every month, we welcome musicians from the Royal College of Music to perform original compositions inspired by the RA Collection in the galleries, as part of our Friday night late openings.
For these performances, composers from the Royal College of Music have selected a work from the RA Collection as their inspiration, which have included works by Royal Academicians and artists – such as Bob and Roberta Smith RA, Angelica Kauffman, John Constable and Michelangelo.
This month’s performances have been composed by Matthew Lomax and Connor D’Netto and each composition will be performed twice. Each round of performances will last 10 minutes and will start from 7pm and 7.20pm.
