Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year – Large Ensemble
The Juno Award for "Classical Album of the Year" for ensembles has been awarded since 1985 (under four award headings), as recognition each year for the best classical music album in Canada.[citation needed]
It was a split from the prior category for Juno Award for Classical Album of the Year, alongside a separate new category for Classical Album of the Year – Solo or Chamber Ensemble.
