The Royal College of Music (RCM) was founded to shape the future of music. Today, we are home to an extraordinary and diverse community: the world’s most promising composers and performers, alongside educators, scientists, technologists, philanthropists, historians, and music lovers from all occupations.
Since its establishment in 1882, the Royal College of Music has benefitted from the generosity of donors who have enabled its work to grow and flourish through gifts in Wills. Providing around a third of our philanthropic income each year, each bequest gift to the RCM has helped us to become what we now are: one of the world’s greatest conservatoires.
By choosing to leave a gift to the RCM in your Will, whatever the size, you will be playing a vital part in supporting the future of the music you love, for the enrichment of generations to come.
