A word from our 2026 award recipients…
“I feel so honoured to receive this award. I’ve always tried to use my voice, on and off stage, to advocate for the causes closest to my heart, and I’m proud to support an organisation that turns compassion into real action every single day. This recognition from Nordoff and Robbins means so much to me, not just as an artist, but as someone who believes deeply in the power of music to create change.”
P!NK, recipient of the O2 Silver Clef Award, sponsored by O2
“Receiving the Global Impact Award at the O2 Silver Clef Awards is such an honour. Music has always been my way of connecting with people all over the world, so it’s amazing to be recognised by Nordoff and Robbins, not just for the songs, but for the impact beyond them.”
Melanie C, recipient of the Global Impact Award, sponsored by Raymond Weil
“To be recognised with the Outstanding Achievement in Music Award is incredibly humbling. I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported and shared this incredible journey with me. Music and performing live has connection at its heart, so I’m proud to be recognised by the O2 Silver Clef Awards and support the amazing work Nordoff and Robbins do in music therapy.”
Jessie J, recipient of the Outstanding Achievement in Music Award, sponsored by Tysers Live
“I’m so proud to stand among so many groundbreaking and inspirational women in music and am truly honoured to win this award. I’ve always believed in using my voice for good in both my music and beyond. It means the world to me to be recognised by Nordoff and Robbins. They do such incredible work using the power of music to bring comfort, connection and joy to people.”
JADE, recipient of the Best Female Award, sponsored by Live Nation
“I’m really happy to be receiving the Best New Music Award at this year’s O2 Silver Clef Awards and to stand alongside such special artists. Nordoff and Robbins help so many people through music therapy, which motivates me to make meaningful music that can inspire others to believe in themselves.”
Rachel Chinouriri, recipient of the Best New Music Award, sponsored by Ticketmaster
“I’m honoured to receive the Icon Award at the O2 Silver Clef Awards, especially as it marks their 50th anniversary. Music therapy is such an essential resource and I’m proud to support something that has such a profound impact on people’s lives.”
Lily Allen, recipient of the Icon Award, sponsored by Barclays
“I’m deeply honoured to receive the Innovation in Music Award at this year’s O2 Silver Clef Awards. As an artist, I’ve always believed that the most honest music comes from a willingness to explore — to follow an idea wherever it leads. To be recognised for that journey means a great deal. Music has a rare ability to reach people in ways that words alone cannot, and knowing that Nordoff and Robbins channel that same belief into their extraordinary work makes this award all the more special. I very much look forward to the celebration at the Royal Albert Hall in July.”
Ludovico Einaudi, recipient of the Innovation in Music Award, sponsored by Oak View Group
“To receive this recognition from Nordoff and Robbins is especially meaningful, because their work reminds us that music is not just art, but care. It’s therapy, it’s community, it’s hope. Thank you for believing in the power of contemporary music. I’m deeply grateful to be part of a world where music can make such a tangible difference in people’s lives.”
Max Richter, recipient of the Contemporary Music Award, sponsored by PPL
“It’s an honour to receive the Best Live Act Award at this year’s O2 Silver Clef Awards. I’m so lucky to do this as a job. This award is especially meaningful because of the incredible work in music that Nordoff and Robbins do.”
Sam Fender, recipient of the Best Live Act Award, sponsored by Uber Eats Music Hall

How the money we raise together helps children like Poppy
Music therapy helped reinstill hope for Poppy and her family after a shock diagnosis of Rett syndrome.
“In every other situation, Poppy struggled to communicate. But with music, it was different. She was responding to us in ways we didn’t think were possible.”
– Rhiannon, Poppy’s mum.
With many thanks to Rhiannon for sharing Poppy’s story at the O2 Silver Clefs 2025.
