Ashley Solomon, Chair and Head of Historical Performance at the Royal College of Music, and Kathryn Jones, Senior Curator of Decorative Arts, will delve into King Edward VII’s pivotal role in founding the Royal College of Music during his time as Prince of Wales. The discussion will then open out to celebrate the rich musical landscape of the Edwardian era, highlighting some of the composers, musicians, and singers who shaped this vibrant period in British cultural history.
