Royal Over-Seas League Award for Young Singers 2009
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was spent at the Eileen Joyce
Studio for the Royal Overseas League Singing Competition on
Sunday afternoon, 9th August. A special welcome was
extended particularly to Mr Jeff Turner (President, WA Branch) and Mrs
June Turner and friends of the Royal Over-Seas
League. The Royal Schools Music Club gratefully
acknowledges the contribution of the three prizes by the Royal
Over-Seas League.
We are delighted to announce the results of the 2009 Royal
Over-Seas League Award for Young Singers. A special 'thank you' to
a most impressive Adjudicator, Ruby Philogene.
First place was awarded to Victoria Wilkie (soprano)
Second place to Alexandra Leonzini (soprano)
Third place to Kathleen How (soprano)
The other singers who performed were (in alphabetical order):
Morgan Cowling (soprano), Elise Keeley (lyric mezzo soprano), Rabiya
Plush-Noad (mezzo soprano), James Rhoads (tenor baritone).
The singers are students of the following teachers, whose support we

During the adjudication was a performance by Lawrence Lee who played
the Max Bruch Violin Concerto (three movements) and he was ably
accompanied by Joseph Havlat.
Both performers were given a standing ovation for their polished
performance, and
Joseph then played an extra piece on the piano, the Toccata by
Prokofiev, much to the delight of the audience.
The afternoon concluded with the presentation of the prizes and
certificates by Jeff Turner (chairman of the Royal Over-Seas League)
