About us
History of Music at King's
It was founded in 1964 by Thurston Dart, a pioneer in early-music performance, and has continually evolved and grown in strength since then, now benefitting from long-standing links with the Royal Academy of Music and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). Our reputation as a centre of excellence in teaching and research is widely recognised; many of our past students have become leaders in their fields of expertise.
