The 2026 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards - described as 'the biggest night in UK classical music' by The Sunday Times - were presented on 12 March 2026 at the Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall, in London, celebrating classical music’s power and resonance nationwide. Singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Jacob Collier received the coveted RPS Gamechanger Award, for artists breaking new ground, and closed the show with a live performance, rousing the entire audience to sing. Presenting his award, Angela Dixon said ‘Jacob is a true 21st century gamechanger. In everything he does, he casts open the inner-workings of music, showing us how it’s made. He illuminates the musician in all of us.’ For more information, visit royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk.
