RPS will also award the Gamechanger award, recognising those who ‘in
unique and contemporary ways continue to break new ground in

classical music’. This award is specially presented by the Board and
Council of the RPS and so there is no shortlist.

The awards will be filmed to watch on the RPS website, and BBC Radio 3
will present a special broadcast featuring music of the winners and

nominees on 6 March.
