Overview

The Competition recognises the song tradition as a whole and requires contestants to perform in at least three languages. At the same time, it honours the Lied’s place at the heart of the song repertoire and celebrates the Shakespearean stature of Schubert in the genre.

Kindly supported by William and Judith Bollinger
