The Dame Myra Hess Award is an award for postgraduate students of the piano. It has been presented by the Musicians Benevolent Fund (now Help Musicians UK) since 1968.[1] Myra Hess had given the MBF crucial financial support during World War II through funds she had raised during her concert series at London's National Gallery.[2]
