It is gratifying that the song is steadily holding its own and meeting with growing interest from the audience. Nevertheless, it must be said that the form of presentation of this art form is often still unchanged for centuries.

In addition to perfecting technical and stylistic issues, participants can try out and adopt new forms of presenting song recitals that better suit today’s audience.
