The Competitions
MSC Committee
The Mietta Song Competition Committee continues to provide opportunities for art song performance and professional development for singers and their accompanying pianists.
Art song is a form which was very dear to Mietta’s heart and the Committee works to enhance the calibre of the Award and to promote the genre.

Vale Avril Everingham OAM
During the year the MSC lost one of its longest-serving and most valuable members, Avril Everingham. Avril was a tireless worker for the arts and Australia’s cultural organisations owe much to her. The MSC, in this 2012 Competition, pays tribute to Avril’s contribution to the arts and the MSC.
