Following the preliminaries, just fourteen of the world's finest young singers have been invited to Cardiff to perform their programmes of lieder and art song in front of a distinguished jury, led by Wigmore Hall's Artistic and Executive Director John Gilhooly.

Competitors taking part include 脕lfhei冒ur Erla Gu冒mundsdottir, soprano (Iceland), Gihoon Kim, baritone (Republic of Korea); Evgenia Asanova, mezzo soprano (Russia); Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, soprano, (South Africa); Reginald Smith, Jnr, baritone, (USA)
