Mrs. Landesrätin Dr. Beate PALFRADER on the intentions of the state of Tyrol: "Tyrol has a great potential of gifted young musicians. The Tyrolean Classical Singing Award is an important impulse for the gifted and supports up-and-coming talents on their way to an international career. "

Initiator Eva LIND on the task: "I am delighted that I have been able to launch the Tyrolean Classical Singing Prize with our EVA LIND MUSIC ACADEMY TIROL.

As a singer, I know how important support is right at the beginning of a career.
