Description

The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama is the National Conservatoire of Wales. Established in 1949 at Cardiff Castle, the college now occupies purpose-built accommodation in the castle grounds. From January 2011, the College will open a new arts centre complex including a new concert hall and courtyard theatre.

We provide specialist practical and performance-based training that enables students to enter and influence the music, theatre and related professions.

There are 550 students at the college, approximately one third studying theatre-related subjects and two thirds, music. Just over a quarter of our students are postgraduates.

The college presents over 300 public performances every year, including concerts and guest recitals, opera, musical theatre and a range of drama productions. Performances take place at the college's theatre and recital spaces and at a variety of external venues.
