    “Not one UK applicant made it to the first round” – Basically it doesn’t matter but in this case it is Belgian based competion, not from UK!
    The name comes from Queen Elisabeth of Belgium (1876–1965) even that long time I tought that it comes from Elisabeth II (or I )

    So…it’s a “battle of the sexes”…

    Three cheers for the many young cellists (and their teachers) from Korea. This competition should change its name to Occupation Korea.
    Or would it be the same for any instrument? Cheers, anyway…
