The 22-year-old mezzo soprano tells us about singing Mahler and Mozart at this weekend's Bangalow Music Festival, and her future plans.

Mezzo-soprano Xenia Puskarz Thomas will use the prize worth $43,000 to study in New York.

11 young singers will compete to secure their place in the final, where they’ll get a chance to take home the Marianne Mathy Scholarship.
