The Royal Albert Hall will present a free lunchtime concert for families this autumn half term on Wednesday 28 October. The performance will feature music from their in-house orchestra Albert’s Band.

The event is to be held at midday in the Café Consort and represents a new edition to the Royal Albert Hall’s regular Ignite series of free lunchtime concerts. In this special family edition, Albert’s Band will take audiences on a whirlwind musical journey around the world. An interactive event, children and their families will be encouraged to try some African drumming and other fun, educational activities.

Albert’s Band is a unique mini orchestra made up of 15 professional musicians each playing one of each instrument you would find in a standard symphony orchestra. The band specialises in educational concerts and workshops organised by the Royal Albert Hall’s education department.

No booking is necessary for the concert. Visit the Royal Albert Hall website for more information.
