Welcome to Spring Season! 

Join us for a season of music that weaves together dramatic stories and masterpieces with the theme of Legends and Tales. 

Orchestral adventures 

The RCM Symphony Orchestra welcomes world-renowned conductors Vasily Petrenko and Rafael Payare to lead enchanting performances of Ravel’s sensual Daphnis et Chloé and Berlioz’s extraordinary Symphonie fantastique. 

Celebrated musicians 

A host of industry-leading artists join us for special collaborations, including a residency with pioneering composer George Lewis, jazz music lead by saxophonist Trish Clowes, an exploration of myths and magic with conductor Natalia Luis Bassa, and a side-by-side performance of Brahms 4 with Chamber Orchestra of Europe musicians. 

Joyful festivals 

We return to the age of the silver screen with centenary screenings of Charlie Chaplin’s slapstick masterpiece The Gold Rush with live chamber music in our annual Chamber Festival, and the RCM Keyboard Festival presents music inspired by rituals and dances. 

Masterclasses and more
