The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (RWCMD) has announced that Dame Shirley Bassey CH DBE FRWCMD will join the college as its president for the next three years. She succeeds HM King Charles who was president of the college before his accession, and was confirmed as continuing as its patron earlier this year.
The announcement comes as RWCMD’s 75th anniversary celebrations draw to a close. In this honorary role Dame Shirley will support the College work as the national conservatoire of Wales. The appointment builds on her more than two decades-long relationship with the college as an RWCMD Fellow. The college’s Dame Shirley Bassey Studio is in recognition of this relationship and she has endowed a valuable singing scholarship in her name.
