Traditionally, the prelude serves as an introduction and preview of other pieces. In keeping with the name of the series, the young musicians at the Reina Sofía School of Music show their talent in concerts that are open and free to the public, as a prelude to what will be their professional career.

Free entrance until complete capacity. A limited quota of tickets will be available for booking and download a week before the concert.

Friends of the School enjoy early booking of tickets. Find more information on the Friends Programme here.

This concert will also be live streamed on our Youtube channel.

By supporting the School you take part in the effort of giving free tuition to more than 150 young talents from all around the world, while bringing Classical music closer to society. If you want to support us, click here.
