Celebrating a Successful Summer Season!
The Royal College of Music has hosted a second successful season of Proms Plus events in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall.More than 11,000 visitors attended 63 Proms Plus events in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall, from literary events featuring the likes of Andrew Motion, Philip Pullman and A. N. Wilson, through interviews with leading conductors such as Sir David Willcocks, Sir Roger Norrington and Vladimir Jurowski, and composer events with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Louis Andriessen and Augusta Read Thomas, among others.
Alongside this, the RCM was running its own Summer Music season of participatory events, offering 288 children aged between 6 and 18 the chance to make music and learn more about pieces being performed during the Proms season. The events were described by participants as "wonderful", "amazing" and "imaginative and inspiring".
Summer Music was so successful that we have already added a new similar series of events for Easter next year, and we're already making plans for 2010 - watch this space for more details.
