Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1960

NSM notes on early days of designing the RNCM. The desire for a Royal Charter does not overpower the Northern School of Music's desire to be treated and seen as equal - being absorbed by the Royal Manchester College of Music is unacceptable!
They can't quite agree where it should be built but would like the new college to be ready in 1965 - they were sorely disappointed! The building was officially opened in 1973!
