The winners of all 13 categories will be announced at the 2021 RPS Awards at Wigmore Hall,
London, at 7.30pm on Monday 1 November.

Also announced today, from this year onwards the awards will take place at a different UK classical
music venue each year, and from 2023 the RPS commits to presenting them for the first time at a
venue outside London.

RPS chief executive James Murphy says: ‘Some people have asked us if there’s been sufficient
music to celebrate with the RPS Awards this year. Brace yourselves for a story of tremendous
resilience, creativity and musicians finding ways against all the odds to inspire others. We’re so
pleased to applaud the countless non-professional musicians across the country through the new
Inspiration Award, and welcome the music-loving public to join in the festivities as never before,
casting their vote for the Inspiration Award and joining us for the Awards celebration, for which
tickets have never been cheaper.’

Shortlisted nominees in the other categories will be announced in late September on BBC Radio 3,
longstanding RPS Awards Partner.

General booking to attend the 2021 RPS Awards will open on Friday 10 September.
