Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards Winners announced

This was a break-through year for Toby Spence, an Old Member of New College, who in a wide range of repertoire on the opera stage and concert platform demonstrated vocal beauty and dramatic maturity culminating in the roles of Lensky and David.

Still in his twenties, cellist Oliver Coates, an Old Member of New College, receives the award for diverse and virtuosic performances with ensembles including Aurora Orchestra, London Contemporary Orchestra and London Sinfonietta. Meanwhile, the playing and eclectic programming of his Harmonic Series has drawn a new classical audience to the Southbank Centre, where he is artist-in-residence.
