Singers from all over the world compete
The Chinese International Vocal Competition, the second in a nine-competition classical arts series hosted by New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) starts today and will showcase hopeful young talent from all over the world in the Big Apple.
The competition will be open to the public this Saturday and Sunday at the Town Hall Foundation, where classical Chinese and Western arias and songs will be performed.
The best female and male singers in the categories of Bel Canto and classical Chinese singing technique will win the Gold Award of $10,000.
NTDTV’s search for tomorrow’s classical singing stars began earlier this summer in Taiwan, where a successful preliminary round with 100 participants was held. Those qualifiers now advance directly to the competition’s semi-final on Saturday.
