Sílvia Sequeira, soloist
Abigail Richards, pianist accompanist
Free concert for our young audience with soprano Sílvia Sequeira, laureate of the 2023 Competition. She will be accompanied by pianist Abigail Richards. The Queen Elisabeth Competition has been organising a series of free concerts for young people under 26 for many years, in Brussels, Leuven and Louvain-la-Neuve. At these concerts, the laureates share their passion with their peers and explain the repertoire they present. These concerts are some of the youngsters' first contact with the world of classical music. On the programme : opera arias by Bellini, Catalani, Gershwin, Poulenc, Puccini and Wagner (
pdf with the aria texts).
Year after year we notice that a large number of adults wants to attend the concert in Flagey. We are happy to be able to welcome them, but we invite them to support the young musicians with a gift. Any gift equal to or greater than 40 euros benefits from tax deductibility. You can either make a transfer to the account of the Competition BE63 3100 4009 2008 (with the mention 'gift'), or make
an online donation via this form on our website. The Competition thanks you for your generosity.
