What a fantastic time at #RCMSparks' Get Set Play show on Saturday! It was great to welcome families from the local community to the RCM, and to hear them play and sing along with Sally Greaves' music from Groove ‘n Play, led by Pip Bryan. Good luck with your onward pathways 🥳 @tbmh.bsky.social

Last week #RCMSparks kicked off the Springboard Young Composers Course with a special rehearsal visit at the Royal Albert Hall and a trip to the RCM Museum's Kurt Cobain Unplugged exhibition. Well done to the new students for creating amazing work inspired by music from the BBC Proms! 🎶

A huge well done to everyone who took part in the #RCMSparks Launch Pad course this week!

The Nirvana interpretations created in the sessions were reflective, epic, and truly inspiring. Everyone took it to the next level – legends in the making 🎸 #Nirvana #CreativeLegends

A purr-fect day 🐱
