Royal Philharmonic Society invites the public to vote for a winner of its 2023 Inspiration Award from a shortlist that includes Making Music members.
The annual Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) Awards ‘celebrate the treasured role that classical music plays in our lives’ and recognises the finest musicians and creatives of our time.
The Inspiration Award, developed in 2021, honours the unsung leisure-time music ensembles or individuals who work with such groups from across the UK. It highlights the outstanding achievements of these groups and individuals whose music has touched and uplifted the hearts of many.
An expert panel shortlisted five nominees from across the leisure-time music sector. A public vote will decide the Inspiration Award winner, setting it apart from all other RPS Awards, which are chosen by professional bodies.
