This autumn, the RNCM continues to shatter the boundaries of musical performance and sonic experimentation with an eclectic programme of live concerts, each offering a unique and unforgettable experience for audiences of all tastes, from silent cinema soundtracks to the symbiosis of sound and dance.
On Fri 15 November, RNCM musicians Noa Nishizawa, Sharon Fung and Jason Wong showcase the unlikely yet captivatingly harmonious combination of euphonium and percussion, as they explore themes of movement and physicality alongside a world premiere of their brand new arrangements.
Promising to transcend the ordinary through musical ingenuity and breathtaking dance, the pioneering ArkEnsemble join forces with the world-renowned Company Chameleon to produce a blistering fusion of fluid, visceral dance theatre and vivid, sweeping soundscapes.
Exploring the boundless connection between music and dance, the instrumentalists and performers transform the stage into a living canvas of artistic expression, where each note and movement tells its own enchanting story.
