Since its inception, the RCM Junior Department has offered advanced training at the highest level to young musicians aged 8–18, nurturing its students with individually tailored programmes of one-to-one instrumental, voice and composition lessons, supported by chamber music, orchestral, choral and musicianship classes.

Many former RCMJD students are now leading and influential figures in the music industry.

Tonight’s concert features two of the RCMJD’s elite performing groups, playing works by Ives, Anna Clyne, Prokofiev, Glinka, and Stravinsky.
