The Royal Academy of Music Bach Prize is an award given by the Royal Academy of Music and sponsored by the Kohn Foundation [1][2] to performers and scholars who have made an outstanding contribution to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.[1]
The prize was first awarded to Prof. Christoph Wolff in 2006, to pianist András Schiff in 2007[3], to Sir John Eliot Gardiner in 2008[1][4] and to the German tenor and conductor Peter Schreier in 2009. The 2010 prize was awarded to John A Butt.[5] In 2011 the prize went to the Thomanerchor Leipzig.[6] Masaaki Suzuki was awarded the 2012 Bach Prize.[7]
The prize is worth £10,000 and the panel of the prize consists of the principal of the Royal Academy of Music, a previous winner of the prize and Ralph Kohn.[1]
