DeltaLive Appointed Supplier to Royal College of Music

 

We are so excited to become a newly accredited production supplier to the recently refurbished Royal College of Music!

The Royal College of Music is one of London’s most vibrant musical centres. Located in South Kensington, the venue is in easy reach of the Victoria & Albert and Natural History Museums, two venues where we have been providing audio and event production services for over 20 years.

The venue has undergone some major transformations following a £40 million investment, with new and beautifully re-designed spaces suitable to host a wide range of events of up to 400 guests, including intimate receptions, grand performances, daytime conferences or meetings, and evening dinners.

Their concert halls are purpose-built for performances with sophisticated acoustics that our audio and backline equipment can complement perfectly. The Parry Rooms are an intimate wood-panelled setting that come with an impressive background of the Royal Albert Hall, perfect for smaller receptions. And their performance studios and cafe provide blank canvas spaces suitable for conference events with projection or live streaming, or extravagant lighting design for product launches and lavish dinners, and just about everything you can think of in between.

If you’d like to take a look at the new spaces available, please visit their website for more information and feel free to get in touch with us should you need a quote for your next event here!
