Lady Hilary Groves Prize Explained
The Lady Hilary Groves Prize is awarded annually, to an individual who has made an "outstanding contribution to music in the community", by the United Kingdom-based Making Music.[1] [2] The recipient must be a member of a Making Music member group.
The award was established in 2000 as the Sir Charles Groves Internal Prize after Charles Groves and was renamed in 2003 after the death of his wife, Lady Hilary Groves, the vice-president of Making Music.
