BBC Radio 3, NCEM and the RCM will be presenting the 2027 Development Day at the Royal College of Music on Sunday 17 January 2027 from 10.00-17.00.
The day (hosted at the Royal College of Music) offers emerging professional ensembles the opportunity to be coached by RCM’s Head of Historical Performance Professor Ashley Solomon, and to find out more about the NGBE scheme with representatives of the partner organisations.
Applications are open to UK-based primarily instrumental baroque ensembles of between 3 and 6 players. You will be experienced performing repertoire between 1600-1800 using historically informed playing techniques, instruments, and stylistic conventions.
Information on how to apply for the 2027 NGBE Development Day will be posted in the coming months so please check this webpage for updates.
Applications will be reviewed in late November. Please note that places are limited due to the timings of the day, meaning that not all groups that apply may be able to take part.
BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music and the Royal College of Music announce Bellot Ensemble as the New Generation Baroque Ensemble from October 2025 for two years.
