Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are Julie Andrews, Roy Haynes, Juilliard String Quartet, the Kingston Trio, Dolly Parton, Ramones, and George Beverly Shea; Trustees Award honorees are Al Bell, Wilma Cozart Fine and Bruce Lundvall; and Roger Linn and Waves Audio are this year's Technical Grammy Award honorees.

The special invitation-only ceremony will be held during Grammy Week on Feb. 12, 2011, and a formal acknowledgment will be made during the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards telecast, which will be held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 13, 2011, and broadcast live at 8 PM ET on CBS.

"It is a great honor to recognize and celebrate such a distinguished and dynamic group of honorees who have been the creators of such timeless art," said Recording Academy president/CEO Neil Portnow in a statement. "These influential performers and brilliant innovators have been of great inspiration to our culture and industry. Their legendary work has left a lasting impression and will continue to influence generations to come."

The Lifetime Achievement Award honors "lifelong artistic contributions to the recording medium," while the Trustees Award "recognizes outstanding contributions to the industry in a non-performing capacity." Both awards are determined by vote of The Recording Academy's National Board of Trustees. Technical Grammy Award recipients are determined by vote of The Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing Advisory Council and Chapter Committees as well as The Academy's Trustees. The award is presented to individuals and companies who have made "contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field."
