FROM THE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Council, staff and students of the Royal College of Music, I am delighted to welcome you to this 2020 Graduation Ceremony. I hope that this will be an occasion that you will remember with pleasure and pride. Whilst the format of this live event has changed because of the pandemic, I must pay special tribute to supporters, family and friends who may be joining us online; your contribution is also worthy of celebration.

I have been astonished by the resourcefulness and resilience of the RCM community over the past year, and I hope that each of you has managed to sustain a spirit of optimism. It has never been more important for each RCM graduate to take particular responsibility to be a passionate advocate for music. Wherever your career takes you, I want you to be inspired by what you have learned and experienced here. Music can change the way we see the world and it can influence how we behave.

Therefore, for musicians, although the responsibility is great, the possibilities are thrilling and the rewards infinite, even in challenging times. However the world may change post-Covid, membership of the RCM is surely a matter of pride and a badge of high-level endeavour and achievement.

It is a pleasure to report that, for the sixth year in a row, the Royal College of Music has been named the top institution for Performing Arts in the United Kingdom in the 2021 QS World University Rankings. Over the past four years we have taken the opportunity to transform both our facilities and the life and work of the Royal College of Music for many decades to come; in doing so, we have virtually doubled the RCM footprint. At the same time, we have explicitly articulated a vision to embrace the ideals of an open and just society, supporting students from diverse social, economic and ethnic backgrounds, as an agent for positive and meaningful cultural change.

Those graduating today join generations of gifted students who have forged their creative careers at the RCM. This list includes some of the most distinguished figures in British music, including a number of current members of staff. Naturally, membership of the College does not cease at graduation – and the RCM network will stand you in good stead throughout your career. Please keep in touch and remember to mention the RCM in your biographies. We will look back with pleasure on the ways in which you have contributed to the life of the College during your student days here, and we hope that you will want to do the same. Certainly your graduation year of 2020 is one that none of us will ever forget.

Currently 60% of our students receive some form of financial assistance to help cover the cost of tuition fees and living during their studies.

Every gift donated to the RCM Scholarships Fund has a tangible impact on the professional and personal lives of talented musicians, enabling them to access tuition from world-renowned professors, make use of first-class facilities and take advantage of unparalleled performance opportunities, all within a professional and supportive environment. We are grateful to all the individuals, legators, organisations, companies and charitable trusts who have supported RCM scholars throughout our 138-year history.
