The evening will celebrate these young singers in Brissago, a town that held a special place in Leoncavallo’s life.

Three prizes will be awarded during the evening. First Prize is sponsored by the Municipality of Brissago, Second Prizeby Crossinvest and Vetreria Beffa, and Third Prize by the Municipality of Ronco sopra Ascona.
