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 and your contributions play a vital role in our shared musical life, today and in the future. We would like to thank all those listed below, as well as those who wish to remain anonymous, who have made donations of £1,000 or more between 1 May 2021 and 30 April 2022.

We would also like to thank those who have pledged a gift to the RCM in their Will. The RCM Legacy Ensemble was launched in 2019 to acknowledge the generosity of those who pledge a gift to the RCM in their Will and to celebrate the life-changing impact of the bequests we receive.
