Raymond Weil says it is delighted to be continuing its partnership with music therapy charity, Nordoff and Robbins.
In doing so, the brand sponsors the O2 Silver Clef Awards which took place last Friday and specifically presented the International Award this year which was given to American singer-songwriter Adam Lambert.
Other winning artists included Stormzy, who won the flagship O2 Silver Clef award, Wet Leg – New Music Award, Biffy Clyro – Best Live Act, Ayanna Witter-Johnson – Classical Award.
Pop legend Neneh Cherry was given Outstanding Achievement and Mark King of Level 42 received the esteemed IconAward.
The artists received their awards in person at a music industry lunch and ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane.
The exclusive event – now in its 46th year –raised vital funds for Nordoff and Robbins to support a wide range of children and adults.
The charity’s trained music therapists help people to connect and communicate through music who otherwise are unable to; such as those with autism, dementia, learning difficulties, brain injuries, life-limiting illnesses, mental health challenges, grief and trauma.
Since 1976, the awards have raised £12 million for Nordoff and Robbins’ vital music therapy services and honoured some of the most legendary names in music.
At a time when the need for music therapy is greater than it’s ever been in the UK, last year’s event raised over £750,000 for the charity, helping to transform the lives of thousands more people across the country.
Adam Lambert said: “I’m filled with gratitude to have been chosen for the remarkable O2 Silver Clef International award. It’s a testament to the unwavering passion of my fans who’ve been by my side throughout my artistic journey – and a reminder of the transformative power of music to heal and uplift people.
Adding: “I’m so excited to be supporting Nordoff and Robbins, a charity that, through the universal language of music, creates such a positive impact on people’s lives.”
