From the Director On behalf of the Council, staff and students of the Royal College of Music, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2016 Graduation Ceremony. For those of you here to receive awards or to support friends or members of your family, I hope that this will be an occasion that you will remember with pleasure and pride. I believe that each RCM graduate has a particular responsibility to be an advocate for music. Wherever your career takes you, I want you to be inspired by what you have learned and experienced here. The power of music has long been understood. As Plato recognised more than 2,500 years ago: ‘Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.’ Music does indeed change the way we see the world and influence how we behave. For musicians, therefore, though the responsibility is great, the possibilities are thrilling, and the rewards infinite. Those graduating today join generations of gifted students who have forged their creative careers at the RCM. This list includes some of the most distinguished figures in British music history: Ralph Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten, Sir Colin Davis, John Wilson, Sir Thomas Allen, Sarah Connolly, Sir James Galway, Julian Lloyd Webber, Sophie Bevan, Jonathan Lemalu, Elizabeth Watts and Alina Ibragimova. Our students are members of the College and this membership does not cease at graduation. You have now become part of one of the most prestigious alumni communities in the world. The RCM network will stand you in good stead in your career, and I hope you will remain proud of that association. Please keep in touch and remember to mention the RCM in your biographies. We will look back with pleasure on the ways in which you have contributed to the life of the College during your student days here: we hope that you will want to do the same.

RCM Music Excellence Award To a student at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts: Xingchen Guo
Scholarships Since its foundation in 1882 the Royal College of Music has awarded scholarships to help cover the tuition fees of students to enable them to study here. Scholarships are awarded by the Director at the start of each academic year on the grounds of talent, potential and musical ability. Currently around half of our students receive support through scholarships and awards. Generations of gifted students have been inspired to forge their creative careers at the RCM, including some of the most distinguished figures in British music history. Every gift to the Royal College of Music Scholarship Fund helps to transform the lives of talented young students and the RCM is grateful to all the individuals, organisations, companies and charitable trusts that have supported Scholars.

MORE MUSIC: REIMAGINING THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC We are entering into a period of transformation for the Royal College of Music, with major plans to expand and enhance our facilities, increase accessibility and further our reach both within the local community and the international music scene.
