“We would be thoroughly grateful if everyone reading this will take a moment to vote
for us on the RPS website and help put Aberdeenshire Saxophone firmly on the
musical map.”
Royal Philharmonic Society (RPS)
The RPS awards are widely considered to be the highest accolades in the UK for
classical music, celebrating excellence and innovation, and recognition by the RPS is
a guarantee of outstanding musical achievement.
These awards usually go to professional musicians, with past winners including
percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, singer Bryn Terfel
and conductor Simon Rattle.
RPS chief executive James Murphy said: “While the pandemic isolated us all to some
extent, it’s stirring to hear of people nationwide who brightly, brilliantly found ways
to make connections they hadn’t before.
“Connecting with each other, ASO and Phoenix have found fresh drive, energy, and
new friends for life. Shared Zoom rehearsals led to this expression of true unity − an
encounter which everyone cherished, and which looks set to continue both online
and in person.”
