Within the framework of the Singing Competition, three internationally renowned members of the jury will share their artistry and their knowledge with young singers who have already reached an advanced standard of training, whether or not they are candidates in the Competition. These master classes, which are open to the public, will be held in the auditorium of the MIM (Musical Instruments Museum).
REGISTRATION CONDITIONS
Admission
These classes are open to all singers who are under 32 years of age and who have reached an advanced standard. Applicants who wish to participate actively in these classes should enclose with their application copies of any documentation that might provide information on their abilities: for example, higher qualifications obtained or prizes awarded at other competitions (enclose documentary proof), press reviews, etc. The organisers of the Competition will decide on the merits of applications; their judgement is final. For each work proposed, participants must provide a score for the accompanying pianist and the teacher.
Candidates in the Competition:
Candidates in the Queen Elisabeth Competition for singers may also register for the master classes. Should a candidate qualify as one of the twelve finalists, his or her participation in the master classes will be cancelled automatically. Candidates who have taken part in the Competition, but who have not reached the final, may be admitted free of charge, either as listeners or as participants (priority will be given to semi-finalists).
