Performance is at the heart of RNCM life, whether it be solo and ensemble performance, or listening and learning from the playing of others. The RNCM performance programme is unique in both its range and quality, and students learn through an extensive programme of ensemble activity from chamber music though to fully-staged opera. There are also opportunities to experience performances given by a vast range of visiting artists from every musical genre.
