In Focus: The Climate Agenda

This year we’re taking an in-depth look at the relationship we have with the planet we live on, asking ourselves what role could, and should, musicians and creative artists have in response to the climate emergency?

Part of The Future is Green, our In Focus: The Climate Agenda takes place across two days. Students and guests from Riot Ensemble will delve into the connection between music and climate change through contemporary chamber works by a range of composers, including a focus on the music of Seattle-based composer-activist Gabriella Smith. We’re also excited to host the world première of a new commission by RNCM alum Asteryth Sloane, alongside new works by our students.

Experience powerful activism, breath-taking landscapes, and poignant reflections on our planet’s fragility.
