2020 Grammy winners in classical and more

The complete list of winners of the 62nd annual Grammy Awards in classical and related categories, presented on Jan. 26, 2020, is below.

In the weeks leading up to this year's Grammys, the Recording Academy, which presents the awards, was embroiled in a controversy that became public when it announced on Jan. 16 that its recently appointed CEO, Deborah Dugan, had been put on administrative leave following an accusation of misconduct. A few days later, Dugan filed a discrimination complaint against the Academy that contained a wide range of accusations, one of which was vote rigging.

Note: Numbers represent Grammy categories and are not all sequential in this listing. Not all categories are listed.
