Lady Gaga will be the recipient of this year's Grammy Museum's Jane Ortner Artist Award.

The prize recognises artists who have displayed passion for promoting education through the arts.

The US star will pick up the award at the Grammy Museum's Jane Ortner Education Award Luncheon on April 4 at Ron Burkle's Green Acres home in Beverly Hills.

Gaga is also set to perform on the day, as well as John Legend, who previously won the prize.

Bob Santelli, executive director of the Grammy Museum, commented:

"The enormous impact Lady Gaga has had on artists and fans began with a strong educational foundation.

"Her career trajectory, marked by extraordinary talent and creativity, is one of the most inspiring stories in music."

Gaga meanwhile is also due to perform a special David Bowie tribute at the Grammy Awards on February 15.
