The RNCM Summer Season is fast approaching, and as usual it’s filled to the brim with brilliant concerts. Here we select our highlights, with a little something for everyone.
There are performances by world-renowned musicians including Clare Hammond (piano) and Christian Lindberg (trombone), family-friendly events ranging from children’s opera to Disney classics, there are performances by inspiring Syrian artists, pop concerts and numerous showcases of the incredible talent being nurtured at the College. One big theme this season is collaboration, with the likes of Wales’ NEW Sinfonia and Manchester Camerata performing some wonderful programmes with students of the RNCM. And pushing collaboration to its limits, one unique concert will see young musicians from leading music conservatoires around the world coming together to perform as an international ensemble: The 21c Global Orchestra.
