The Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM) is a leading international conservatoire located in the heart of Manchester, with a reputation for attracting talented students, teachers, conductors and composers from all over the world.

Now in its fifth decade, the Royal Northern College Of Music is relatively young, but its rich history spans back to 1893 when Sir Charles Hallé founded the Royal Manchester College of Music. In 1973, this institution merged with the Northern School of Music, and the Royal Northern College Of Music was born. Today, the College is a thriving conservatoire with around 320 teaching staff and 880 students from nearly 60 different countries.
