List of fellows of the Royal College of Music
2026-11-15 11:03:50 · Cedar Herald Index
This is a list of Fellows of the Royal College of Music.
Each year the Royal College of Music bestows a number of honorary awards and fellowships on individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to life at the RCM and the wider musical community.

Unlike fellows of the Royal Academy of Music, it is not necessary that fellows of the Royal College of Music be former students at the College, although many have been. Many others are internationally known musicians with no associations with the College at all.
