2023/24 Events

During 2023-24, The RNCM presented The Future is Green, a year-long programme of activity where we embedded the subject of climate and our environmental impact at the heart of our decision-making, actively seeking ways in which we could reduce our carbon footprint, whilst asking the question: What role could, and should musicians and creative artists have in response to the ongoing climate crisis? We sought to use our platform to raise awareness and spark discussion, and to explore what we might achieve within our sector together and individually.

Across 30 public performances running from September to July, we brought a focus to climate change and the natural world, providing opportunities for students, staff, audience members and the wider community to learn with us, and to understand and think about the role we all play. We also highlighted additional behind-the-scenes context, including the important work within our curriculum and the sustainability measures in place across our estate.
