The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama has launched the \u00a315,000 Sir Bryn Terfel Song Prize.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first edition of this prize is set for November 2025 with singers nominated by UK conservatories. Singers must present at least one song in Welsh and another in their native language. The artists will engage with the College for a fully-funded three-day residency with a program that includes masterclasses and group classes.<\/p>\n

“As the national conservatoire of Wales we are determined to make sure that young people – from Wales and the UK and also internationally \u2013 understand everything that this country and the College has to offer them,” said Helena Gaunt, Principal of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, per an official press release. “Amplifying, championing and sharing the Welsh language and Welsh culture is a vital part of this and is a place where Bryn\u2019s passions and ours exactly meet. We are absolutely delighted and inspired to be working with him to develop his Cronfa Foundation to fund projects, like the Song Prize, that will help us to do this.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, the College announced a new partnership with youth organization Urdd Gobaith Cymru to create performance and development opportunities for Wales’ young artists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
