  The Conservatoire is in the heart of Birmingham

The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire is to hold an Open Day on Thursday June 11th to offer potential students an essential understanding of what studying there entails.

From 10.00am to 5.00pm participants will have the opportunity to gain insight into life as a conservatoire student with the day including introductory talks, tours of RBC's £57 million music building and the chance to meet current students and speak directly to the staff.

There will also be the opportunity to hear the RBC Brass Band perform under Musical Director, Ian Porthouse.

Open Day attendees are invited to bring their instruments and play alongside current RBC students during a side-by-side brass ensemble session led by the Conservatoire's Head of Brass, Ed Jones.
