The Lady Hilary Groves Prize is awarded annually, to an individual who has made an "outstanding contribution to music in the community", by the United Kingdom-based Making Music.[1][2] The recipient must be a member of a Making Music member group.[1]
The award was established in 2000[3] as the Sir Charles Groves Internal Prize after Charles Groves and was renamed in 2003 after the death of his wife, Lady Hilary Groves, the vice-president of Making Music.[1]
Winners receive a certificate signed by Katharine, Duchess of Kent, who is Making Music's patron.[1]
