The Musicians' Company Honorary Fellowship was established in 2003 and has now become an annual award. It is presented to performers, composers and others within the profession who are not currently members of the Company. Each Honorary Fellow becomes a Freeman of the Company upon the conclusion of their year.
To build and strengthen the Company's links to the wider profession, the Fellowship has already included academics, journalists and photographers. Recipients undertake a Company event during the year to explore and celebrate their specialist area of achievement.
