70TH ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION
Royal Welsh College Of Music & Drama, Cardiff
Until Fri 1 Nov
The Royal Welsh College Of Music & Drama, or RWCMD, is the UK’s only All-Steinway Conservatoire. Taking in only a select few students each year (they have just over 600 students at any given point), the college has made a name for itself by generating some of the best talent in theatre, film and music.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the RWCMD’s existence, and to truly celebrate how far the college has come in the past 70 years – from their beginnings as the Cardiff College of Music in Cardiff Castle, to being one of the five royal Conservatoires in the UK – they’re holding an art exhibition. Free for anyone to go along and view, the installation will include memories and recollections from some of the college’s previous students, alongside artifacts and items from the archives of the RWCMD.
Making the exhibition extra special, there will also be an interactive timeline, allowing members of the public to add their own RWCMD-related experiences. With past alumni including the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Ruth Jones and Eve Myles, the exhibition promises to be an interesting look into the history of Welsh performance.
