The 2021 RPS Awards will take place at London’s Wigmore Hall on
November 1, 2021. To be hosted by BBC Radio 3 presenter Katie

Derham and RPS CEO James Murphy, trophies will be presented

by RPS Chairman John Gilhooly.

This year, tickets for the event have been reduced to between £16
to £30, to encourage more participants to celebrate together. The

presentation will feature live performances from special guest

artists, including some of this year’s nominees. Tickets to the award
ceremony can be booked, here.

The filmed version of the RPS Awards will be available for streaming

from their website from November 9, 2021. BBC Radio 3 will also be
covering the celebrations on November 8, 2021.

“We are so pleased to reveal this year’s RPS Awards shortlists,
collectively representing the astonishing hard work, generosity and

goodwill of musicians throughout the pandemic,” stated Murphy.
“In current times, look no further for a good news story about

people nationwide giving the best of themselves to support
others,” he added. “Here is proof for anyone who yet needs it of the

invaluable, rousing role that musicians can play in the nation’s
recovery.

“Our only disappointment this year is that no women are
shortlisted for the Conductor Award,” Murphy continued.
