Congratulations to Jacob Lawrence, the winner of the inaugural Schloß Weißenbrunn international singing competition (3 June, 2020), this year focussing on the music of Giovanni Bovicelli. The prize pool of Eu 9,500 was shared between six prize-winners. The competition attracted 96 competitors from 25 countries. Jacob sang with the ACC from 2009 until 2016, when he left to study Early Music at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, Switzerland. We met up with Jacob in Bruges in July 2019, where he surprised the ACC singers and Friends group with a private recital.
