Music at the National Gallery

Music and painting share a common word: composition. There is also a well-established tradition of composers using paintings as inspiration for their musical compositions.

Reinforcing this relationship between music and painting, the Gallery has a regular programme of musical performances, with occasional special concerts and events taking place throughout the year.

Belle Shenkman Music Programme

Central Hall
Admission free

Musicians from the Royal College of Music perform a different programme each week, thanks to generous support from the family of Belle Shenkman.
