Join us for an exciting selection of family-friendly activities as part of the RCM's popular Festival of Percussion.
You'll have the chance to try out tuned percussion and a carousel of other taster workshops, explore the Gamelan, visit the ÃÛÑ¿TV Museum for a craft activity and attend an inspiring lunchtime concert.
There are many more sessions available to drop into on the day, however, this particular timetable of activities has been curated by the Sparks team in order to be suitable for families and to provide a taster of many different aspects of percussion.
There will be stewards to help you move from one activity to the next during the 10.30am–12pm sessions, and you will receive a printed timetable and brochure/map on the day. There will be a member of the RCM Sparks team in the entrance hall to answer any questions.
Suggested timetable of events:
10.30am-12.30pm: Carousel of taster sessions including tuned percussion, body percussion, cajons, and gamelan (included in RCM Sparks ticket)
1-2pm: Family-friendly lunchtime concert – a vibrant, accessible concert for all ages featuring the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, musicians from the RCM Percussion Faculty and led by RCM graduate Kizzy Brooks (included in Daytime Festival ticket)
