Among our highlights from the RNCM’s Dance:Music series of concerts are two collaborative shows with dancers from Company Chameleon, an internationally renowned dance company based in Openshaw. Closing the RNCM Strings Festival on 12 January,  Company Chameleon will work with the RNCM String Orchestra, who’ll perform Stravinsky’s alternately gritty and graceful Concerto in D and Britten’s ghostly Lachrymae. All before Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite will see the kindred spirits of ballet and opera reignited in a dramatic and fiery finale.

Igor Stravinsky Concerto in D for string orchestra ‘Basle’ ^
Benjamin Britten Lachrymae *
Rodion Shchedrin after Georges Bizet Carmen Suite for strings and percussion ⁺
