RNCM 09-12/17 September - December 2017 EVENTS AND PERFORMANCE 1 FRENCH CONNECTIONS From September through to July, we’ll be celebrating the music of France and its impact across the world. Our year-long festival will have French music at its heart, as we explore past and present connections with France and its great cultural centre, Paris. RNCM students are at the forefront of the programme and next Spring, they join together with students from the Paris Conservatoire for concerts in Manchester, London and Paris, as a future generation of international performers recreates the musical life of wartime past.
