Future Artists: Royal Academy of Music
Hear works and arrangements by the brilliant young artists mentored by members of Resident Artist Manchester Collective.
This is the third year of an innovative creative partnership between the Southbank Centre and the Royal Academy of Music.
The partnership sees our Resident Artist Manchester Collective sharing their unique practices with six selected students, through a series of workshops and conversations.
The cohorts work on how to develop their artistry beyond technique and notation, into a more collaborative and creative sphere of experimentalism and playfulness.
In tonight’s concert, the students perform material they have composed, curated and refined under the guidance of Rakhi Singh, Co-Artistic Director of Manchester Collective.
The process and final concert represent a progressive approach to organised musical education shared by both the Academy and by Manchester Collective: to demystify the creative process, encourage artist autonomy and collaborative practice, and to normalise risk-taking in ‘classical’ music-making.
