Through its unique history, the RPS has established a central role in British music. Today that makes it one of the most connected entities with strong links and insights into every corner of the profession. Why not draw on that? We can lend you our distinct perspective on what’s happening in all aspects of the musical ecology, and expand your network, introducing you to exciting talents and driving forces in music, to offer advice and insights, ignite new collaborations, and help fulfil your own strategic priorities. We can also further your profile to our extensive social media following and fast-growing RPS Membership of ardent and engaged music lovers.

Your Corporate Membership subscription in turn helps the RPS in its charitable work, supporting musicians at critical stages in their career, making news and raising profile for the achievements of musicians through the RPS Awards, and rousing greater national curiosity and pride in classical music through RPS Membership.

Read on for details of the three tiers of RPS Corporate Membership.
