Meet CVSC alumna Tabitha! 💛 As she shares what the Classical Voice Singing Competition has meant to her, enjoy her award-winning performance in last year’s Novice Aria Award, accompanied by CVSC official accompanist, Isaac 🎶

Tabitha first joined CVSC in 2022 as a Year 9 student and completed her final year with us in 2025, graduating as a Year 12 competitor.

During her time at CVSC, Tabitha was twice awarded the Patrick Burns Italian Diction Scholarship and was also the recipient of the Young SongMakers Australia Lied Scholarship. In her final year, she achieved outstanding success, winning both the Novice Aria Award section and the CVSC VCE Award section, in which competitors present a three-work recital drawn from their current VCE performance program 🎉

Now in her first year of study at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music at the University of Melbourne, Tabitha is embarking on an exciting new chapter. We are incredibly proud to have been part of her journey and can’t wait to see where her talent takes her next 🤩🙌✨

Ensuring the most professional performance experience for our competitors, the CVSC provides our performers with an official accompanist, at no extra cost. In 2026 we are excited to welcome back a familiar face at the CVSC, Isaac Mouskovias, as our official accompanist 🎹✨

Nearing the completion of his PhD in piano accompaniment, Isaac is a leading Australian authority on classical vocal accompaniment. Isaac brings a wealth of experience as an eisteddfodau and competition accompanist in Australia. For 15 years, Isaac has been engaged with eisteddfods across Australia, as an official accompanist in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia.

We know our competitors always enjoy working with Isaac! 🎶

One of the most rewarding aspects of the Classical Voice Singing Competition is the extraordinary sense of community that develops over the course of the weekend ☀️🎶

Although we proudly celebrate excellence in performance, what unfolds backstage is often even more special. Competitors encourage one another, celebrate each other's successes, offer words of support, and form friendships that continue long after the competition has finished.

Last year, one young singer shared something that has stayed with us ever since:

"At school I don't always feel that I fit in... I love coming to this competition. I found my people here."

We can think of no greater testament to the environment we strive to create.

At the CVSC, we believe that young artists flourish in an atmosphere of encouragement, generosity and mutual respect. While awards and prizes are certainly worth celebrating, it is the friendships, confidence and shared love of singing that so often become the most enduring rewards.

We can't wait to welcome both familiar and new faces this September! ✨

“An acclaimed interpreter of oratorio and concert work, he appears regularly with Australia’s finest orchestras including the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian Haydn Ensemble, and notably with the Sydney Symphony in their recent Helpmann Award-winning concerts of Bach and Bartok.

He has become closely associated with Britten’s War Requiem, making his debut in this work with West Australia Symphony Orchestra in 2022, and again in 2023 with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Most recently David appeared as soloist in Verdi’s Requiem in the Sydney Opera House, Mahler’s Symphony No.8 with West Australia Symphony Orchestra, and the Durufle Requiem with Sydney Symphony.

Equally experienced on the operatic stage, he has been a principal artist with Opera Australia in The Eighth Wonder, The Love of Three Oranges, and most recently in the role of Valens in their 2024 Summer Season of Handel’s Theodora. In 2023 he made his debut with Christ Church Symphony Orchestra, New Zealand, as Aeneas in Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas

As a recording artist David has an impressive catalogue of international recordings including Jack Body’s Poems of Love & War on the Naxos label and Solo bass cantatas of J.S. Bach, with the Netherlands-based Luthers Bach Ensemble on the Brilliant Classics label.”
