The Jaded Clam Award of Merit

Introducing an Award of Merit reserved for recognizing and honoring noteworthy accomplishments in the world of classical music.

Known simply as the “Hubie” (after the patron saint Hubertus), each statuette is sculpted in the finest jade – a gemstone of unique symbolic energy.
