NYBBGB to Appear at Gramophone Awards
Every year, Gramophone hosts the Gramophone Awards to celebrate the very best artists, pieces, and recordings, from the past year in classical music. And this year, a glittering awards ceremony will take place in-person for the first time since 2019, at London’s De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms on Tuesday 4 October. From this year’s shortlisted recordings, one will be chosen as the winner in each of the 12 categories, and a single album will be named as the prestigious Recording of the Year.
Presented by Gramophone’s Editor-in-Chief James Jolly and with live music from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the ceremony will also feature a fanfare from the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain, alongside performances from past and present Gramophone Award winners.
A spokesperson for the National Youth Brass Band explained, “An NYBBGB ambassador ensemble, made up of current Youth band players and recent alumni, will be performing at the awards on Tuesday 4th October. Our talented Director of Artistic Planning, Dr. Robert Childs, has arranged James Curnow’s Fanfare and Flourishes for ten piece brass and percussion especially for the occasion. After a fantastic year celebrating 70 years of the band, we're honoured to have been invited to be a part of the prestigious Gramophone Classical Music Awards!”
You can watch highlights and performances from the awards ceremony on the Classic FM website and social media channels from Friday 7 October at 7pm.
