Childs Regcognised by RNCM
The Royal Northern College of Music has announced that it will be honouring euphonium virtuoso David Childs by making him an Associate of the Royal Northern College of Music. He will join leading artists from the world of classical and rock music in gaining recognition at the annual RNCM Congregation and Conferment ceremony in Manchester in December.
It is the latest academic recognition for the musician who has gained worldwide acclaim for his performances and education work. The Besson artist is Professor of Euphonium at the University of North Texas, as well as being the International Visiting Tutor and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Welsh College of Music in Cardiff.
Reacting to the announcement David commented, “It is a real honour to recognised by the RNCM alongside such outstanding musicians. I enjoyed four years studying at the RNCM, first on trombone an then on euphonium, and it provided me with the foundation on which I could build my career; becoming an Associate Member means a great deal to me and my family.”
