Nothing like the sounds of beautiful voices, and this surely was the case for the Mississippi Opera Voices Competition! I was excited to hear and film these wonderful performances. The competition was held at Belhaven University Center for the Arts and after numerous entries the winners were narrowed down 6 winners in 2 categories. These 6 winners then performed at the Voices Winners' Performance. Unfortunately one of the singers was not well and was not able to attend. However the other 5 performed 2 selections and all 6 were interviewed. Below are the winners and also their performances!
