Each year, the Academy marks the contribution of today’s leading musicians, including performers, composers, educators and artists. The list of honorands includes a range of distinguished people across the profession, who have made a significant impact in their field.

This year, the Academy welcomes six new Fellows of the Royal Academy of Music, an honour reserved for alumni. Representing stage and screen, internationally-acclaimed operatic soprano Mary Bevan is joined by actor and singer Fra Fee, whose work spans the West End and Broadway as well as television and cinema. Instrumentalists being recognised this year include pianist Anna Tilbrook, who has a considerable reputation in song recitals and chamber music; lutenist and producer Matthew Wadsworth, who has achieved critical acclaim for his recordings and performances at a range of prestigious venues and Louisa Tuck, who is Principal Cello of the Oslo Philharmonic and a renowned soloist.
