Here we go – the competition will start on Monday!

1 June 2024

The 9th Mirjam Helin competition will take place 3–12 June 2024. The order of performance was confirmed by a draw on Saturday, 1 June. By chance, the order is the same as the alphabetical order of the competitors, and the first singer is the French soprano Judith Ankoué.

The order of performance will remain the same during the entire competition. The first performance will be “Oh, that I on wings could rise” by Georg Friedrich Handel.
