Celebrating the 10 year Anniversary of Abbey Road Institute | Photo Gallery 📸

December 12, 2025 by lavieathomas

2025 marks the 10-year Anniversary of Abbey Road Institute – 10 years of training the next generation of music producers and sound engineers. On Wednesday, 19th November, we hosted our anniversary party, reuniting Abbey Road Institute staff and alumni from the past decade.

We opened our specialist music production school in 2015 at Abbey Road Studios. In 2019, having outgrown our space at 5 Abbey Road, we expanded our teaching facilities by moving into Angel Studios and haven’t looked back! Since relocating, we’ve been selected as one of Billboard’s Top Music Business Schools for four consecutive years.

In honour of the amazing community of alumni who’ve helped shape our journey so far, we threw a 10th anniversary party, championing the faces of success!

CATCHING UP!

In honour of our 10th anniversary, the first part of the night was all about the reunion! Reuniting alumni with lecturers and their classmates. We were delighted by the extra mile some partygoers went to, coming from Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Croatia, to make it to the party. Plenty of hugs and smiles were shared all night long.

“It was wonderful to catch up with our alumni, who in some cases I had not seen for a number of years. I was also very happy to hear that so many of them are active and very successful industry professionals.” Carlos Lellis | Programme Director

Over the years, we’ve celebrated many major successes of our alumni, from Music Production and Audio Post Production students. On the night, we got to celebrate with some of them! Take a look…

SUCCESS STORIES

In 2023, Ramera Abraham was awarded the Music Production Guild’s Vocal Producer of the Year!

This summer, Jasmine Wembankoy and Madi Coleman performed on the All Points East Amex Unsigned stage!

DJ SETS

Celebrating the amazing community of alumni who’ve helped shape our journey so far, the night was a total success, with the first few hours all about socialising, and the evening turning into a party with DJ sets from alumni Sam Robbins and Kieran Butler.

Since completing their studies with us, both alumni have gone on to carve successful careers in the music industry, with credits playing at events such as Reading Festival, Carnival, and others.

Sam and Kieran brought all the energy needed for this fantastic reunion. Bringing a party to the dancefloor until the early hours. Celebrated with lots of laughs and cheers!

 

“It was great to catch up with old friends and collaborators, sharing experiences in the business and memories from our time at the Institute.” – Carlos Bricio, Music Production Alumnus 

We want to extend a huge thank you to Lucy Kevil and Laviea Thomas for bringing this event to life. We had a fantastic time celebrating 10 years with you all. We can’t wait for more of these events to come! Here’s to a prosperous future of guiding the next generation of music producers, sound engineers, and audio mixers!
