The following Information has been provided by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama:
The Guildhall School of Music first opened its doors on September 27 1880, housed in a disused warehouse in the City of London. Supported by the City of London from the start, with 62 part-time students, it was the first municipal music college in Great Britain. Initially all tuition was on a part-time basis, but full-time courses were introduced by public request in 1920 and Departments of Speech, Voice and Acting were added by 1935. At that time, '& Drama' was added to the School's title.
The School moved to its present premises in the heart of the City of London's Barbican in 1977 and continues to be owned, funded and administered by the Corporation of London. The move was initiated with the aim of creating an Education Arts Complex combining the forces of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Shakespeare Company with the Guildhall School.
Today, the Guildhall School currently numbers some 700 students on its roll call, approximately 570 of whom are undergraduate and postgraduate music students, and 130 are studying on the acting, stage management and technical theatre courses. also In any year approximately 40% of the students are from outside the UK and typically represent over 40 nationalities.
Some of the School's alumni include Dame Eileen Aitkins, Neil Austen, Max Beesley, Honor Blackman, Claire Bloom, Orlando Bloom, Susan Chilcott, Daniel Craig, Judy Craymer, Dido, Joseph Fiennes, Sir James Galway, Dave Holland, Sarah Lancashire, Paul Lewis, Tasmin Little, Sir George Martin, Alistair McGowan, Ewan McGregor, Julia McKenzie, Marian McPartland, Omar, Anne Sofie von Otter, Rachel Podger, Rebecca de Pont Davies, Jacqueline du Pré, William Primrose, Patricia Rozario, Clive Rowe, Simon Russell Beale, Bryn Terfel, Marcia Warren, and Janice Watson.
