ABC Wednesday "R" is for Rehearsals, Research & RNCM new Concert Hall

Mancunian Wave is taking part in this week's ABC Wednesday meme, where "R" is for the above rehearsal at The Royal Northern College of Music. 

The RNCM is raising funds for a new Concert Hall to update the one that has been in place since the building opened 40 years ago. Alison Balsom, international mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly, Professor Brian Cox and Classic FM's John Suchet are among the supporters of Your RNCM; a £3 million campaign to transform the RNCM’s Concert Hall into a state-of-the-art venue.

As well as being a conservatoire (i.e. a college for the study of music) RNCM is a research institution and an arts centre, with music of all genres researched into and performed here; classical (and all that entails), new music, electronica, World, folk, rock, pop, jazz, opera... The events speak for themselves. 

‘The RNCM is at the very heart of the heady cultural mix that makes Manchester such a dynamic and vibrant city. It is one of my favourite places in town to enjoy great music and mix with fellow music lovers and students in a landmark venue that will only be improved by the renovation programme. I look forward to spending many more exciting evenings in the transformed RNCM Concert Hall.’             - Stuart Maconie, BBC and a Campaign Champion.
