Royal Academy of Music

'The Royal Academy of Music provides bespoke training to exceptionally talented performers from all over the world, some of whom you will hear this evening. As we approach our Bicentenary in 2022, we remain committed to delivering a student experience of the very highest international standard. At the same time, we are looking to the future and the role we play in an ever-evolving musical landscape. All of our Bicentenary-related events and initiatives - including this, the inaugural Bicentenary Prize - are designed to celebrate the 'here and now' as well as laying the path for the Academy's exciting plans as we enter our third century. 'Our six finalists not only exemplify the Academy's vibrant global community but also reflect the sheer breadth of disciplines we offer.
