Event information
Junior Guildhall musicians compete in the 2026 Lutine Prize Final, presenting a programme of outstanding solo performances before an adjudicating panel. This annual prize celebrates exceptional musical achievement and offers audiences the chance to hear some of Junior Guildhall’s most accomplished young performers.
The Lutine Prize was founded in 1982, originally supported by Lloyds of London, who named the competition after their Lutine bell. The bell was formerly rung at the insurers' offices to announce the loss of a ship or other news of great importance to the underwriters. Previous winners of the Prize include Thomas Adès, Tom Poster and Annabel Thwaite, and many have gone on to have professional careers in music.
