Barbican Music Hall and Theatre

Barbican Music Hall and Theatre

Music and Theatre at the Barbican

The Barbican welcomes the world's top soloists and musicians in both classical and contemporary music.

We offer the greatest music in our concert hall and world-class theatre in our performance space, which is the London home of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

Schools

We can offer your school or college a diverse range of bespoke and ready-made cross-arts projects, drawing inspiration from the Barbican and Guildhall School’s exciting and vibrant programme.

'I think the whole process of coming, working with the stage management and technical crew, having access to normally unavailable back stage spaces is invaluable in helping students to feel this performance venue is accessible to them.' 

Whether you are looking for a one-off workshop or a sustained project, we can offer you a wide breadth of cross-curricular outcomes that can have a transformative impact on the lives of your participating students. 

Barbican Box

A theatre education programme designed for schools and colleges. Barbican Box aims to ignite, support and facilitate theatre-making in schools through a process of devising and creating work from scratch. 

Drum Works

We facilitate regular drumming ensembles in several schools across east London.

Film Screenings

We host special film screenings for schools throughout the school year.

The Big Barbican Workshop

A new cross-arts workshop day for primary school, secondary school and college groups looking to experience all the art forms on offer at Europe's largest multi-arts venue.
