Awards and Achievements
We take great pride in the accomplishments of our alumni community, whose talent and dedication continue to earn recognition across the globe. From major award nominations to prestigious competition wins, their achievements speak volumes. It seems there’s rarely a day without news of an alum being honored for their work. What follows is just a small selection of their recent successes.
345 Grammys | 124 Latin Grammys | 91 Emmys | 30 Tonys | 8 Oscars
Winning a Grammy is the highest honor for a musician—and more than 300 have gone to Berklee alumni.
The Latin music world recognizes the best of its own with the Latin Grammys. Though the awards are new, Berklee alumni are already making their mark.
The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, honor the finest achievements in film. In Berklee's case, that means achievements in film scoring, sound editing, sound mixing, songs—even, for Quincy Jones '51, humanitarian efforts.
Emmy Awards (Daytime, Primetime, and Children's & Family)
Did you know the composer of The Simpsons went to Berklee? He and many other alumni have won awards for their work in television.
The hottest show on Broadway, Hamilton, was orchestrated by Berklee alumnus Alex Lacamoire '95, who won a Tony for the hit. See who else from Berklee has earned a Tony.
Herbie Hancock Institute Honors
Berklee alumni have often finished at or near the top of the annual contest formerly known as the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition.
Berklee-Granted Awards
Berklee recognizes notable figures' impact on the community and the industry by granting awards through honorary degrees, the Berklee Legacy Awards, the Master Musician Awards, and the Berklee Alumni Achievement Awards.
Berklee is proud to be regularly recognized among the top music colleges in the world by respected publications such as Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, and CEOWorld Magazine.
