The Royal Academy of Music in London, England, is a well known conservatoire and one of the leading music institutions in the world. The Royal academy of Music has been a constituent college of the University of London since 1999. Today, the Academy occupies a role as one of London's central cultural institutions. The Academy was founded by Lord Burghersh in 1822 with the help and ideas of the French eccentric harpist and composer Nicolas Bochsa and in 1830 was granted a Royal Charter by King George IV, "to promote the cultivation of the science of music and to afford facilities for attaining perfection in it by assisting with general instruction all persons desirous of acquiring knowledge thereof."
The principal of the Academy is Sir Curtis Price, who will retire from his post in September 2008, having been one of the Academy's longest-serving principals. During his tenure, the Academy became a full school of the University of London (in 1999), it developed collaborative ties with other music schools abroad, it acquired a number of important archives (including the Foyle Menuhin archive) and in 2005 it acquired the "Viotti ex-Bruce" Stradivari violin.
Professor Jonathan Freeman-Attwood will succeed Sir Curtis as Principal in September 2008.
