Nominated in the Young Artist Category is accordionist Ryan Corbett, who in 2021 became

mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean in this category.
The winner of the Inspiration Award will be decided by a public vote, which is open now
on the RPS wesite. You can choose between Derwent Brass, Glasgow Madrigirls, Sheffield
Philharmonic Chorus and The Sunday Boys.
The RPS Awards will be held outside of London for the first time. This year they're heading
to Manchester, taking place at the Royal Northern College of Music.
