Eleven national awards will be presented to a host of artists, whose talents span the genres of contemporary classical, electroacoustic, improvised and experimental music and contemporary jazz. The awards will cover an array of categories including composition and performance and will pay tribute to both individuals and organisations.
Music performance curator for the sixth stint of the awards will be acclaimed pianist Gabriella Smart, while actor, author, and MC Jonathan Biggins is set to make his debut as host of the night.
