RPS Awards Event

‘The biggest night in UK classical music’ The Sunday Times

We warmly welcome you to join us for the RPS Awards: a night of celebration with special guests, inspirational stories, and live music, giving you the chance to meet unsung heroes of classical music from across the UK and to rub shoulders with the stars.

Since 2021, we have presented the RPS Awards in a refreshed and open format, with a vastly-reduced ticket price giving more music-lovers and music-makers than ever before the opportunity to get together and feel part of the festivities. Given the national story they tell, our most recent RPS Awards took place in Birmingham (March 2025) and Manchester (March 2024), and we are set to return to the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre in London on Thursday 12 March 2026. Tickets from just £10 (plus venue booking fee) will be available in October. 

RPS Members will be able to get to pick the best seats first with a day of priority booking from 10am on Monday 27 October. Public booking opens at 10am on Tuesday 28 October. If you’re interested to know more about RPS Membership and supporting our charitable cause, find out more by clicking here. We will share more details as plans advance and when booking opens here on our website and on our social media.
