Royal Northern College Of Music (RNCM)
1990

Kathryn, Duchess of Kent, visited Manchester regularly as Patron of the RNCM. She came to operas, congregations of awards, our junior schools and more. Here she is in 1990 with one of our junior school students practicing her bowing.
RNCM's junior school started as the Northern School of Music's Junior School which met on Saturday mornings in their premises on Sydney Street (opposite where the Proud Trust is now). We continued the Saturday school tradition in various projects and guises ever since.
