As part of this year's summer festivities, The Gold Medal final will be streamed on 8 May, featuring live performances from four finalists to a panel of judges. The Gold Medal award this year will be celebrating singers, as it alternates between singers and instrumentalists annually. 

Guildhall School’s Summer Jazz Festival will go ahead virtually this summer, presented by DJ and journalist Tina Edwards. The festival will provide the public with three days of performances led by leading artists in the UK jazz scene, such as Fini Bearman’s quintet, Trish Clowes, Ruth Goller and Brigitte Beraha.

The programme of events includes a live stream of Beginnings: New and Early Opera. This contains five contrasting short operatic works written by composers and librettists on Guildhall School’s MA in Opera Making & Writing programme, delivered in association with the Royal Opera House.
