You be the judge! Following the 2026 Lenya Competition Finals at 1:00 pm, audiences are invited to return to Kilbourn Hall at 7:30 pm for a special concert of crowd-pleasers and show-stoppers from the 2026 Finalists. Those in the hall will then vote and determine the winner of the $3,000 “Audience Choice Award.” The Awards Presentation of the 2026 Lenya Competition, in which over $90,000 will be bestowed, will immediately follow the concert.
