RPS Awards launch first ever public
vote in award for non-professional
ensembles
It is now up to the public to decide the winner of the Inspiration Award, with six

By Freya Parr
The Royal Philharmonic Society Awards return this year with the very first public-
voted award.
The public has been asked to choose the winner of the RPS’s Inspiration Award,
which was first introduced last year for ensembles and artists who had
innovated with music during lockdown. From hereon in, the focus will be on non-
professional ensembles or individuals who work with such groups, in a celebration of
ensembles who are often overlooked.
