Singer of the Year 2024

 

Patrons who attended the choir’s 31st Singer of the Year competition were left in no doubt about the quality of the finalists (together with their brilliant accompanist Konrad Olszewski) and of the concert by the men of the Melbourne Welsh Male Choir. Once again, the audience was treated to a veritable smorgasbord of classical songs chosen by the finalists (ranging from Mozart, Stravinsky, Puccini Massenet and Weber) to the choir’s component including Welsh hymns and anthems, a Maori lullaby – Hine e Hine, an Italian lament – Verdi’s Va Pensiero (sung in its native language) and the powerful Prayer from Wagner’s opera Lohengrin. The warm applause from the audience in the comfortable environment of MLC’s auditorium rewarded a wonderful afternoon of music from all the performers. The winner of the 2024 Singer of the Year as announced by our distinguished chief adjudicator Margaret Arnold was soprano Esther Counsel.
