Increasingly well known Irish soprano Jennifer Davis has been announced by Dublin’s National Concert Hall as this year’s recipient of the Bernadette Greevy Bursary Award.
Top judges including soprano Ailish Tynan, bass-baritone Ian Caddy, and Simon Taylor, CEO of the National Concert Hall, were at the head of the decision. Davis emerged the winner, taking with her the €5000 bursary as well as a solo recital in the concert hall next year.
Davis will continue her ever-growing career in opera when she takes to the stage as Adina from L’elisir d’Amour with the Wexford Opera Festival later this year. She will also be attending the National Opera Studio in London in 2013/2014.
