 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Guildhall School of Music and Drama
Guildhall School of Music and Drama is a music and dramatic arts school which was founded in 1880 in the City of London, UK.
The first Guildhall School was housed in an old warehouse in Aldermanbury, but these premises soon proved too small.
The school’s extension is estimated to cost around £40million and the City of London hopes that the return from additional development on the site – a slim, residential tower above the school’s complex - should substantially contribute to this cost.

 Arts & Business - Guildhall School of Music & Drama
Students at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama have recently been piloting a project with the Adolescent Education Unit of the Middlesex Hospital, namely a series of music workshops at the Hospital for children suffering from long-term illnesses.
Based on experience gained over 20 years of 'outreach' work by the Guildhall School, the purpose of these practical music workshops was to assist the caring process and contribute to the young peoples' recovery and to their sense of well-being during their period of hospitalisation.
The Hospital and the GSMD were clear that the workshops and recitals had not just provided the children with opportunities to play instruments, vocalise, or just observe and listen, but had enabled them, as a result of participating with the musicians, even in a relatively short time, to develop their own musical and social skills.

Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Barbican, London 11 and 12 June 2003
What makes it so collectable is that the music has throughout all the characteristics of mature Nielsen as we know and love him in UK, so that the least interesting and less witty episodes always hold the ear in thrall.
The Music Hall at the Guildhall is an excellent venue for recitals, clear acoustic, not too dry; there I first heard Rolf Hind when still a music student (elsewhere!) and noted him for a great future.

 Tchaikovsky Iolanta and Rossini The Silken Ladder; 5 November 2001, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London   (Site not responding. Last check: )
At the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, the tried and proven 'double bill' team of Clive Timms conducting and Stephen Medcalf directing did as well as could be with the Rossini in English, and sensationally well with Tchaikovsky in Russian.
The music is saturated and sonorous, its scoring very different from either Eugene Onegin or Pique Dame (The Queen of Spades), the orchestral sections down in the pit supporting each other and blending in a rich tone quality which carried the impressive cast, soloists and chorus alike on a wave of intoxicating lyricism.
There was an inescapable feeling that the Guildhall student singers were involved in something special, and that also comes across with the timely and serendipitous receipt from Select of CPO's Iolanta, recorded from live performances at the ECOV Festival in Ghent, mounted there to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Tchaikovsky's death.

 Opera / Music Theatre
Berlioz's music contains set numbers which are priceless pearls, and they were given very creditably after an overture which augured ill, relentlessly noisy and lacking shadings within degrees of forte.
But, for the Guildhall's loyal public, Béatrice et Bénédict inevitably raised once again the hoary chestnut of sur-titles, which the Guildhall School has resisted, although that battle has generally been lost, partly because of the ubiquity of translations on DVD.
An excellent recording of the music of Béatrice et Bénédict (without spoken dialogue) is available from LSO Live (LSO 0004 CD) or, now for Christmas, in a bargain box of all Colin Davis's new recordings of Berlioz with the LSO.
