Held for the first time in Manchester, this year’s Royal Philharmonic Society Awards Ceremony celebrated a thrilling and tumultuous year of music making across the United Kingdom. In an exciting turn, the first two awards of the night were won by Rayfield Allied artists: the Chamber-Scale Composition award going to composer Laurence Osborn, and the Young Artist Award going to mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean.
Winning for his piece, TOMB!, Osborn’s work for 12 Ensemble and the piano-percussion duo GBSR was celebrated as immersing “the listener in a sound-world that defies expectation and shows a composer reaching new heights.” In the prestigious Young Artist category, winner Betts-Dean was lauded as “a visionary performer, blazing through so much daring repertoire, and plunging into one bold collaboration after another.”
Rayfield Allied extends a heartfelt congratulations to all winners and nominees at this year’s RPS Awards.
