Shortlists have been announced today for the Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS) Awards, billed by
BBC Radio 3 as ’the BAFTAs of classical music’.
Star string players feature among the nominees. Violinist Elena Urioste and cellist Abel Selaocoe
are nominated the Instrumentalist Award, while violist Timothy Ridout is up for the Young Artist
Award.
Shortlisted initiatives highlight the social and emotional benefits of music, including Manchester
Camerata’s powerful film Untold: Keith , the story of someone living with dementia who finds
comfort and company through music; digital venture Opera-tic creatively empowering those living
with Tourette’s Syndrome; and Joe Cutler’s Concerto Grosso written for disabled musicians to
perform centre-stage with Gateshead’s Royal Northern Sinfonia.
