The founding of the Royal Manchester College of Music (RMCM) and the ‘Manchester factor’.

The RMCM was the precursor to the RNCM.  In the preface to Manchester: making the modern city Kidd and Wyke write that ‘The history of Manchester echoes with innumerable voices of individuals and groups…’.  Drawing on documents from the RMCM and other archives, I will show that the way individuals and groups functioned together in the city’s society in the late nineteenth-century underpinned, and was key to, this and similar institutions.

The meeting room will be on the ground floor and there is disabled car parking adjacent.

Please arrive at 12:30pm for a 1pm start.
