A long ovation and shouts of "bravo" ended the Laureate Concert of the XX Ada Sari International Vocal Artistry Competition in Nowy Sacz on Saturday, May 13. This event, which brought together on stage the best vocal youngsters from around the world, selected by an international jury, was the final chord of this year's edition. "We tried to appreciate and honor you. You are all wonderful and promising," Margaret Walewska, chairwoman of the jury and Artistic Director of the Competition, addressed the Laureates before their evening performance.
