RNCM – Royal Northern College of Music Day Of Percussion 
Sunday 9 February 2025
Now in its 32nd year, the RNCM Day of Percussion continues its mission to engage, educate, and entertain all who have an interest in the wonderful world of percussion.

This year’s outstanding line-up includes Timpanist with Gewandhausorchester Leipzig Tom Greenleaves, award-winning marimba soloist Marta Klimasara, Principal Percussionist at English National Opera Orchestra Mick Doran, leading solo percussionist Joby Burgess, and renowned drummer Gabor Dornyei.
Rounding off the day’s festivities, our gala concert features The Central Band of the Royal Air Force, the first ensemble outside the United States of America to be awarded the John Philip Sousa Citation for Musical Excellence, recognising its reputation for the highest standards of performance.
In between sessions, visit our expansive trade exhibition throughout the day where you can try out instruments and pick up new accessories.
We’re excited to celebrate all things percussion and thrilled to host this popular event once again—we can’t wait to see you there!’
