Every year the Academy confers Associate Honours on former students of the Academy to recognise and celebrate their significant contributions to the musical landscape. The 2025/2026 list of Associates showcases the broad range of careers that alumni go on to enjoy. Alumni being recognised this year include solo, orchestral and chamber musicians, operatic and concert singers, jazz artists, conductors, composers, music educators, musical theatre performers and artistic leaders, amongst many more. Honorary Associates, in their respective fields of expertise, have also played an important role in supporting the Academy’s work over the years.
The performers and musicians who will be conferred honours at Graduation 2026, including Fellowships and Memberships of the Academy, as well as this year’s Honorary Doctorate will be announced later this spring.
