What, no Brits? But their conservatoires are world leading.
Very anti-climatic competition, they should have postponed it…
Was it raining?
Wouldn’t it be better to have a lower cut-off for these?

There isn’t a better ticket to obscurity that a first prize from the Queen Elizabeth competition!

I attempt a high sophisticated explanation, bordering Qanon theories : is possible that others played better?
