RNCM Strategic Plan: Defining the Future of Music The relationship we have with the planet we live on is never far from our collective conscience. Brutal stories of natural disasters brought on by climate change can often be overwhelming, and as a small institution it can be hard to imagine that we can make a difference. But that’s exactly what we want to do. This year, as we continue our mission to Define the Future of Music , we’re turning our attention to this worldwide crisis, asking the question: what role could, and should musicians and creative artists have in response? We understand that our organisational impact is small and there’s lots we still need to do, but we want to use our platform to raise awareness and spark discussion; to explore what we might achieve within our sector together and individually. Through a string of public performances running from September to July, we’ll be bringing a focus to climate change and the natural world through our The Future is Green initiative, providing opportunities for students, staff, audience members and the wider community to learn with us, understand and think about the role we all play. We’ll also be highlighting what goes on behind the scenes, including the important work within our curriculum and the sustainability measures in place across our estate. Join us as we stimulate an ambitious organisational and individual response to the climate emergency and explore our place in making a future that is green, sustainable,  and in harmony with our planet. 2023/24 Events Environmental Responsibility Decarbonisation Food and Drink Curriculum RNCM Green Fund The Four Seasons in Art The Future is Green Video Series Related Pages Support Us Future is Green Resources Also in this section... Performance Research Curriculum Two years ago, we founded RNCM Climate Action, a society with the aim of helping students and staff live more sustainably and for our college to become more environmentally friendly. It means so much to us that student voices are heard at the RNCM. We look forward to working with college further and hope other conservatoires will follow the lead. Beth Machell and Hoda Jahanpour Over the past decade, we have made great strides in developing the quality of the estate to support the world class educational and performance activities that take place here.
