The nominations for this year’s RPS Awards have been announced, with the BBC Singers<\/a><\/strong> nominated after a dramatic headline-grabbing year of announcements of disbandment, and following a significant backlash from the community, a reprieval of this decision. They are up against the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective and Riot Ensemble in the Ensemble Category. <\/p>

The late composer Kaija Saariaho<\/a><\/strong> is remembered and recognised in two categories this year for her opera Innocence<\/em>, which is nominated for Large-Scale Composition also in the Opera and Music Theatre category for its UK premiere at The Royal Opera. The latter category is an eclectic selection this year, including Chornobyldorf<\/em>, a contemporary media-opera presented by the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival looking at the impact of nuclear power on our world, and the Glyndebourne premiere of Poulenc’s devastating Dialogues des Carm\u00e9lites.<\/em><\/p>
