Gold Medal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama

The Gold Medal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama is awarded in May of each year to the winner of the school's most prestigious music competition. The prize was founded and endowed by Sir H. Dixon Kimber in 1915, and since 1949 it has been awarded in alternate years to a singer and an instrumentalist. Gold Medals are also awarded for other aspects of the School's programme, including Drama and Production Arts.
