Music and Art

 

This semester I took a music class, and an art class, which allowed me to see what London's art and music scene is like. Some things I think you should go, should you have time, while your in London.

 

Royal Albert Hall - It doesn't really matter what you see here, it's more about the venue, but the Proms are pretty awesome.

 

 

 

 

Shakespeare's globe - You really should watch a Shakespeare play here. But spend the couple extra bucks, so that you don't have to stand. 3 hours of standing is not what you want to do. 

 

 

The Philharmonia Orchestra is pretty great.

 

 

Especially their conductor Krzysztof Urbanski. He is quite young, and has a really awesome conducting style.

 

Not necessarily a London thing, but if you ever get the chance to see Jan Lisiecki, go. He is an unbelievable pianist, he's also Canadian, and he's only 19!

 

Lastly, go to the Sir John Soane Museum, it's not your typical art exhibit, and it is amazing.

 

All the museums and art galleries are free in most of Europe, so feel free to take advantage of that when you are in Europe.
