The International Singing Competition NEUE STIMMEN has its sights set on the future. Liz Mohn, co-chairwoman of Bertelsmann Stiftung, sent out invitations for the prize winners' concert at the Bertelsmann's offices on Unter den Linden in Berlin.
Accompanied on the piano by Prof. Manuel Lange, the four prize winners of the 2013 competition -- Nadine Sierra (USA), Kristina Mkhitaryan (Russia), Myong-Hyun Lee (South Korea) and Oleg Tibulco (Moldova) -- sang arias and songs by Richard Strauss, Peter Tchaikovsky, Charles Gounod, Vincenzo Bellini and Johannes Brahms. The evening ended with an impres-sive performance by all four singers of Franz Lehár's "Lippen schweigen."
