Derwent Brass has rounded off another year of artistic achievement by
being nominated for the 2024 RPS 'Inspiration Award'.

Regarded by many as the BAFTAs for classical music, the Royal

Philharmonic Society Awards are classical music’s annual good news story,
shining much-needed light on inspirational individuals, groups, and

initiatives whose music has lifted hearts and minds across the nation.

The eventual winner of the accolade which initiated with support from

Warner Classics in 2021, is decided through a public vote of the four
nominees, shortlisted by an expert panel to recognise the "remarkable

achievements of non-professional musical ensembles or individuals".
