The Gold Medal 2020
Guildhall's most prestigious prize for musicians
This is an online event hosted on the Guildhall website.
The final of Guildhall's most prestigious music prize, offering the chance to enjoy an online broadcast of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2, Elgar's Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto.
Instrumentalists from Guildhall School of Music & Drama compete for the School’s most prestigious music prize in this special event, rescheduled from May 2020.
The Gold Medal was endowed by Sir H. Dixon Kimber in 1915 and since the 1950s it has been open to singers and instrumentalists in alternate years. In 2020 it’s the turn of instrumentalists, who will perform concertos with Guildhall Symphony Orchestra conducted by Adrian Leaper.
Previous winners of the Gold Medal include Jacqueline du Pré (1960), Tasmin Little (1986), Sir Bryn Terfel (1989) and, most recently, soprano Samantha Clarke (2019, pictured).
