The Grammy Awards

January 31, 2010

Celebrating music through the Grammy Awards for more than 50 years, The Recording Academy continues its rich legacy and ongoing growth as the premier outlet for honoring achievements in the recording arts and supporting the music community.

The Grammys are the only peer-presented award to honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position. Organizers of the 52nd annual Grammy Awards show in Los Angeles say they have set the date for the 2010 prize presentation. The event billed as “music’s biggest night” is to take place Jan. 31 at the Staples Center. It is to air live on the CBS Television Network. This year’s show took place Feb. 8. To accommodate an earlier air date, the eligibility year for the 52nd annual event will be shortened by one month — Oct. 1, 2008, through Aug. 31, 2009. The date for the Grammy nominations announcement is expected to be scheduled soon.

“We are delighted to host the world’s premiere music event in our hometown again, especially with the newly opened Grammy Museum in our backyard,” said Neil Portnow, president/chief executive officer of The Recording Academy. “As always, Grammy Week will kick off with events that showcase various genres of music “As always, Grammy Week will kick off with events that showcase various genres of educational programs and charitable initiatives.”
