Short Stories: 200 Years of the Royal Academy of Music
Since the Royal Academy of Music was founded in 1822, its aim has been to shape the future of music by discovering and nurturing talent wherever it exists. To mark our bicentenary, we’ve created this podcast to celebrate and uncover some of the stories of those people, past and present, that resonate throughout our building and define the institution. You’ll hear about those working and studying at the Academy today, some of the famous people that have passed through our doors as well as those whose musical lives might have been overlooked but deserve to be told.
