SUPER STRING SUNDAY Sunday 12 May 2019, 11am Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall
SUPER STRING SUNDAY Sunday 12 May, 11am Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall
Welcome to the Royal College of Music’s ever-popular annual Super String Sunday; an opportunity to see some of the world’s brightest emerging string stars in action. Taking in more than 200 years of musical history, this year’s string marathon contrasts baroque concertos, to pinnacle classical works to solo works by living composers Roxanna Panufnik and Fazil Say.
You will have a great time today if you stay all day, but feel free to come and go; the doors are always open. Please turn off phones and try to enter and leave as quietly as possible, and between movements only.

Our More Music development is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform our campus.
New state-of-the-art facilities at the heart of our building will complement our existing spaces and heritage.
Our plans include:
two new performance spaces additional practice rooms for students a new Royal College of Music Museum a new café/ restaurant and courtyard area with improved access
a new organ
Over the next few months, some instruments and equipment may be visible on the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall stage while we undertake these works.
Access routes around the College may vary throughout the project and wayfaring signage will be regularly updated to reflect changes.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we transform our campus.
The video playing in the Inner Hall and BaRCM visualises the ways in which the deve lopment will enhance our campus facilities and you can find more information on the More Music Campaign at www.rcm.ac.uk/moremusic
