Hosted by BBC Radio 3 presenters Hannah French and Petroc Trelawny, the
Awards ceremony will be available to watch on the RPS website at a later date.
Meanwhile, BBC Radio 3 will present a special broadcast featuring music of the
winners and nominees at 7pm on Monday 6 March. BBC Radio 3 and BBC Music
Magazine are among the Principal Supporters for this year's Awards.

'With much recent reportage about funding cuts to the arts, what a story we have to
share about classical musicians’ creativity, generosity and resilience,' says RPS
Chief Executive James Murphy. 'The RPS Awards shortlists represent thousands of
musicians who devote their lives to uplifting, inspiring and uniting communities
nationwide. We’re newly presenting the RPS Awards at the same time of year as the
BAFTAs and BRITs, as classical musicians deserve as much recognition as pop acts
and movie stars. Tickets have never been cheaper, from only £10, so we warmly
invite music-lovers to come and be part of the festivities and help us make some
noise.'

In other awards news, the BBC Music Magazine Awards are now inviting
nominations: you can vote for the best recordings of 2022 across nine categories,
from Chamber to Opera, via our website.
