Chamber Musician Elliot Kempton graduated from RWCMD in 2022 with a BMus Strings.

‘I feel incredibly fortunate to have studied at the Royal Welsh College. This place prepared me brilliantly for the profession, especially through the chamber music opportunities, where I developed my love for quartet playing. The College really helped me discover what I can bring to music.’

‘There’s something really special about the College. The working environment, amazing teachers, masses of opportunities, and you can’t find facilities like this anywhere else. When I graduated, I had a well-rounded view of music and a new confidence in my playing, something the College definitely nurtures.’

Cerddor siambr graddiodd Elliot Kempton o CBCDC yn 2022 gyda gradd BMus (Anrh).

‘Rwy’n teimlo’n hynod ffodus fy mod wedi astudio yng Ngholeg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru. Fe wnaeth y lle hwn fy mharatoi’n wych ar gyfer y proffesiwn, yn enwedig drwy’r cyfleoedd cerddoriaeth siambr, lle datblygais fy nghariad at chwarae mewn pedwarawdau. Fe wnaeth y Coleg fy helpu i ddarganfod yr hyn y gallaf ei gyfrannu at gerddoriaeth.’

‘Mae rhywbeth arbennig iawn am y lle hwn. Yr amgylchedd gwaith, athrawon rhyfeddol, llu o gyfleoedd, ac nid oes cyfleusterau tebyg i’w cael yn unman arall. Pan wnes i raddio, roedd gen i olwg gyflawn ar gerddoriaeth a hyder newydd yn fy chwarae, rhywbeth mae’r Coleg yn bendant yn ei feithrin.’
