Monday Recital Series
Frequency: weekly, in the Autumn and Spring terms
This series takes place in the Concert Hall on Monday lunchtimes (1.15pm), and is free to the public. The concerts last for 30 minutes, and comprises two 15 minute programmes. This series is mainly for solo and duo performances, but we may accept works for up to five players.
Spotlight Series
Frequency: no fixed number, across all three terms
This series takes place in the Carole Nash Recital Room or the RNCM Bar, and can be anything from a classical concert to a post-concert pop gig. Spotlight concerts are usually programmed on days that there are evening concerts. Pre-concert Spotlights usually start at 6.30pm (and last 30 minutes), and post-concert Spotlights start around 9.45pm (and potentially last up to 45 minutes).
We aim to select Spotlights that we think would attract a similar audience to that of the main concert, encouraging them to attend both. We also programme a stand-alone Triple-Bill evening of Spotlights.
It is your responsibility to organise everything from music hire to rehearsals, and you will need to submit a fully developed idea with the personnel already agreed.

RNCM Festivals
The RNCM hosts an annual series of festivals and instrument days, where high profile artists will visit the College to give concerts and masterclasses. There are several performance and composition opportunities for RNCM students within these events, ranging from solo performances to chamber groups and larger ensembles.
