The Royal College of Music would like to thank everybody who has supported the work of the RCM and our students.
Music has the power to transform lives. Your generosity has enabled us to reach and nurture gifted students so they can become leading musicians of the next generation, and contribute fully to the worldwide musical community, our society and economy.
We would like to thank all those listed below, as well as those who wish to remain anonymous, who have generously supported the RCM between 1 January and 31 December 2024.
We would also like to thank members of the RCM Legacy Ensemble who have so thoughtfully pledged a gift to the RCM in their Will.
