Announcing our new partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Society

posted on 12/07/23

 


We are pleased to let you know about a new partnership between Martin Randall Travel and the Royal Philharmonic Society, which we hope will bring you even closer to the finest musicians. The RPS is one of the UK’s foremost music charities in which music-lovers play a vital part supporting and protecting the musicians we all cherish. 

We are thrilled to be collaborating and, to launch the partnership, we invite you to join us online on Tuesday 3rd October for an exclusive free webinar episode, co-hosted by MRT and RPS showcasing a very special guest. Baritone Roderick Williams is one of the most acclaimed and beloved British musicians – a great friend of Martin Randall Travel, having performed on many of our music festivals. He is also a Trustee of the RPS and devoted to its mission: the perfect figure to launch our new association.

Uniquely Roderick will give you a glimpse of his life at home, talking about his creative passions and the music that inspires him, straight from his music room. Roderick looks forward to welcoming you as he draws back the curtain on his performing life.

This episode will be broadcast live at 4.30pm (London) on 3rd October on Zoom and will be recorded for those who wish to watch later.

We help performers and composers when they can often struggle – with grants, commissions, mentoring and performance opportunities. We help young musicians with insufficient means to acquire the instruments they dearly need to progress. We raise the profile of musical endeavours nationwide through the RPS Awards, and our filmed talks and events, cultivating pride and support for so many artists and initiatives worth discovering.

We do all this with the help of music-lovers who join our community and take pride in positively shaping the story of music. RPS Membership is an opportunity for you to make a charitable gesture and show support for the music and musicians you love, make fresh discoveries and get closer to what’s happening in classical music today, and be a valued part of a community united by a cause.

We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your musical passions. Visit royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk to find out more.
