Junior RNCM
“Before They Become Famous XIX”

Another visit by students from the Junior Royal Northern College of Music. See their previous concert in March 2025 for an idea of the sort of entertainment they provide. This season’s students will be different, but the performances promise to be just as exciting. There will be 4 students this year (announced 7th March): cello, oboe, saxophone and voice (soprano).

Brief Report “on the night”

Another splendid concert attended by around 55 people. The highlights (for me personally) were:

  • Jayvas Wong’s amazing fast saxophone runs in the opening Carnival of Venice.
  • Emily Edge’s unaccompanied singing of the folk song The Parting Glass.
  • Oliver Pearce’s intense dramatic cello in Shostakovich’s Sonata.
  • Vinchy Ho’s haunting oboe in Pierne’s Fantasie-Pastorale.
