Programme Details
The Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks Award for postgraduate vocal students was created to celebrate the great British tenor Richard Lewis (1914-1990) and is generously endowed by the Richard Lewis trust and the foundation set up by the eminent pathologist Dr Jean Shanks.
Four prizes are awarded to singers, and an additional major award for the best accompanist is generously donated by the late Brenda Webb, a close friend and admirer of Richard Lewis.
