Streetwise Opera has won the first Music in the Community Award launched jointly by The Times and Gramophone. Thank you so much to all of you who voted for us.

The Times and Gramophone shortlisted 5 charities working in the field of Music in the Community and the public voted for which of the charities should pick up the award.

Speaking at the award ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel in London, Editor of Gramophone, James Inverne said of Streetwise Opera: ‘What started as an idea has become a beacon of how music can add to our quality of life and has captured the imagination of readers of The Times.’

In the past 12 months Streetwise Opera has won two other awards of national importance – the Andy Ludlow Homelessness Award 2008 and a Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award 2008.
