History of the IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition
The IFAC Handa Australian Singing Competition evolved from the Marianne Mathy Scholarship, which was established through a bequest made in the will of Marianne Mathy-Frisdane, an operatic soprano and distinguished teacher who trained many well-known Australian singers.

It is a remarkable performance. Britten liked to provide music for his friends- such great artists as Vishnevskaya, Mstislav Rostropovich (her husband), Janet Baker, Julian Bream and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, amongst others, and in particular, his lifelong
