Company Awards

We believe talent can achieve great things with the right support. Our prizes and awards for early-career musicians are funded through the Company’s endowment income, charitable gifts and legacies. We also celebrate lifelong contribution with ‘Service to Music’ awards.  Our early-career award winners are invited to join our Young Artists’ Programme, further information about which can be found here.
