The Royal Academy of Arts begins its year with a blockbuster art exhibition on the famous French painter Edouard Manet, showing more than 50 of his paintings while Tate Britain concentrates on the late works of Kurt Schwitters and the Hayward Gallery reveals its ‘Light Show’ exhibition at the end of the month. There’s contemporary art by the German-born photographer Juergen Teller at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and art to buy at the London Art Fair which returns for its 25th year, gathering over a hundred of London’s best galleries under one roof.
The Southbank Centre’s year-long classical music festival, The Rest is Noise, begins in January 2013, an exploration of 20th century music which will involve a record number of the UK’s orchestras. Music fans are spoilt for choice this month with live performances from Mercury Prize winners Alt-J, Sinead O’Connor, Donny and Marie Osmond who perform at London ‘s O2 Arena, and a rare London appearance from Jane Birkin, singing songs by her late partner Serge Gainsbourg at Cadogan Hall.
