Aviva tweets: So pumped to get to wear another gown in the @cardiffsinger Song Prize Finals!
Good news! Aviva Fortunata is a really excellent young singer. Let’s hope she makes it to the main final as well!
The standard has been so much higher than in previous years – it makes me very happy. As does the delightful presence of Rosie Joshua and her perspicacious comments. More of Rosie please, BBC.
Interesting change in the balance away from Europe. Has there ever been a Mongolian finalist? Looks increasingly that the future of classical music is in Eastern Asia.
