Last night was the culmination of a collaborative project with RCM musicians and students from the North London Music Hub alongside London Sinfonietta 👏
 
Over the past month they have been working towards a performance of brand new work by James B Wilson, performed side-by-side with London Sinfonietta players at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. What a wonderful opportunity and a fantastic evening of music-making – congratulations to everyone involved! ✨

The Royal College of Music is delighted to welcome new professors Neal Davies, Robert Murray, Benjamin Appl, Arwel Treharne Morgan, Neil Baker and Matthew Marriott to the Vocal & Opera Faculty this September!
