RNCM Young Artists, part of the Royal Northern College of Music<\/a>\u2019s learning and participation Engage programme and closely aligned with its Popular Music school, has been shortlisted for a Times Higher Education Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scheme, supported by Sony Music UK\u2019s Social Justice Fund<\/a>, has been selected by the judges in the Widening Participation or Outreach Initiative of the Year category – which celebrates programmes that improve equality of opportunity for students from all backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RNCM Young Artists focuses on aspiring young musicians aged 11-18 from under-served communities and expands on RNCM\u2019s work to develop world-class artists and creative practitioners to help drive the music industry forward in a relevant and inclusive way. The SJF funding means the programme is subsidised, enabling no-fee places for half of the participants and a highly discounted place for the remaining 50%. Since 2022, Young Artists has provided opportunities for 92 young people to improve education, skills, and life chances, and opened up viable pathways to Higher Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winners of the 20th THE Awards will be announced at a ceremony in Birmingham on 28 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
