RCM string players are in the spotlight for the ever-popular annual Super String Sunday. From soloists to large ensembles, experience breathtaking performances from across the Faculty.
Enjoy a feast of folk-inspired music throughout the day with much-loved favourites alongside lesser-known works. The event is rounded off with Richard Strauss' deeply moving Metamorphosen for 23 solo strings, written in the aftermath of the Second World War and inspired by the writings of Goethe and the continuous metamorphosis of living things. For
this special performance, RCM musicians are joined by RCM Quartet in Association, the Sacconi Quartet.
Our doors are open all day from 11am, so drop in for ten minutes or stay for as long as you like. The performance of Strass' Metamorphosen will begin at 5pm.
This event will be live streamed on our YouTube channel and at www.rcm.ac.uk/live.
