O2 Silver Clef Awards
The music industry’s favourite charity event
Nordoff and Robbins is the music industry’s favourite charity and the O2 Silver Clefs is the music industry’s favourite charity event – for very good reasons.
This star-studded gathering has celebrated the genius of legendary musicians since 1976, whilst raising millions of pounds for our vital music therapy services. Helping us to support some of the most isolated and vulnerable adults and children across the UK, through the power of music.
In 2026, the O2 Silver Clef Awards celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special anniversary edition of the event. To register interest in the next event, click here.

“I’m deeply honoured to receive the Innovation in Music Award at this year’s O2 Silver Clef Awards.

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.”
