TICKETS NOW ON SALE

A brand-new event for professional singer-and-pianist duos based full-time in the UK—and 135 of them have submitted entries!—the Rebecca Clarke Song Competition spotlights British women composers of the last century, and their extraordinary contributions to the vocal literature.

Prizes include £5000 each to the winning singer and pianist, £1000 each to the runners-up, and £1000 to the duo giving the best performance of a song by a living British composer. In addition, winners will be offered performances at the London Song Festival, and in the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s chamber series. 

Semi-finals and finals, both open to the public, will be held on January 19 and 24, 2026, at the Royal Over-Seas League, London. Get tickets here, along with full background information and repertoire-lists.
