The Royal College of Music in London, founded in 1882 by the then Prince of Wales, later Henry VII, prepares talented musicians worldwide to develop an international musical career as performers, conductors and composers, as well as carrying out other tasks related to the fine arts. It also boasts an extensive museum of musical instruments that is open to the public. Eminent figures such as Gustav Holst, Benjamin Britten, Neville Marriner, Andrew Lloyd Webber or John Williams among others, have attended this school.
