Founded in 1882, The Royal College of Music (RCM) is a world leading music conservatoire with a prestigious history and contemporary outlook. Our excellence was recognised by the 2026 QS World University Rankings, in which we were ranked as the No. 1 institution in the UK and Europe, and second globally, for both Music and Performing Arts. The College has held global first and second positions in Performing Arts for five successive years, while Music is a new subject introduced to the rankings in 2024.

Performance and Programming is at the centre of College life and the Concert & Venue Manager is a vital role within the team, liaising with almost every department of the College to ensure events run smoothly. The Concert & Venue Manager works very closely with the Orchestra Manager and the Orchestra Coordinator on the orchestral performance programme, setting-up rehearsals and stage managing the majority of large ensemble and orchestra concerts including Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonic Orchestra, Wind Orchestra, Jazz Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, Brass Ensemble and New Perspectives. The role involves working with students, staff and professors along with visiting artists and conductors including Sakari Oramo, Antonio Pappano, Vasily Petrenko, Martyn Brabbins, Ryan Bancroft and Joana Carneiro. The Concert & Venue Manager also works closely with the venue hire team to facilitate external hires and stage manage external performances.
