The 21c Global Orchestra at Royal Northern College of Music

Young musicians from leading music conservatoires across Australia, Austria, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, The Netherlands and the USA join students from the RNCM to explore the potential of what an orchestra can be in the 2020s, bringing together singing, improvisation and pieces with flexible instrumentation.

This performance follows three days of workshops in Manchester and celebrates music’s ability to transcend international borders, while building on a fresh impetus for creative collaboration across the world in the aftermath of the pandemic.
