Join us for these unforgettable piano performances surrounded by art in our Reserve Collection room, where music and modern art seamlessly converge. With three Piano Proms each exhibition season, starting at 12pm and lasting around 50 minutes, we showcase talented young pianists from the Royal College of Music. Thanks to the generous loan of Dr John Birch’s Bosendorfer grand piano, these events have become a highlight of our calendar.
