For over 200 years, the Royal Philharmonic Society has been at the heart of
music, creating opportunities for musicians and championing the vital role of
music. It began in 1813 when a group of musicians set out to establish a series
of orchestral concerts in London.
The Society’s regular performances attracted world-class artists including
Mendelssohn and Wagner, and it commissioned new music for an eager public
to hear: most famously, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. 200 years later, the
Society continues to celebrate and empower musicians through the awards as
well as grants, commissions, coaching and performance opportunities.
The Royal Philharmonic Society Awards will take place on Tuesday, 5 March 2024
at the Royal Northern College of Music. Tickets are priced at Tickets: £10, £15,
£25 (plus RNCM booking fee), and are available on the RNCM website.
