Royal Wedding Concert at Albert Hall
Celebrate the forthcoming nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton at the royal wedding concert at Albert Hall.
The historic live music venue in Kensington is taking part in all the excitement of the royal wedding by hosting a special concert starring the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the Royal Choral Society and all manner of acclaimed classical musicians.
Classical music concert
Anticipating all the pomp and ceremony of the royal wedding, the concert at Albert Hall features a number of popular classical arrangements sure to stir hearts in many a patriotic breast. The combination of the grand orchestral music in the majestic setting of the Royal Albert Hall is a suitable precursor to the royal wedding itself, which takes place later on in the month at Westminster Abbey.
