CoryOn Brooks of Paducah won the 2025 Pearse and Deirdre Lyons First-Place Undergraduate Award and Scholarship award at the Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition, Alltech announced at the Sunday competition. The competition is in its 20th year and was held at the UK Singletary Center for the Arts.
Students competed for more than $700,000 in total prizes and scholarships. The competition is one of the largest of its kind in the world and has contributed to the rise of the UK Opera Theatre program, according to Alltech.
“More than 200 students have been able to pursue their ambitions in opera, having opportunities to travel the world, perform, teach and inspire others,” said Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton.
The 2025 competition featured six undergraduate competitors and 12 graduate student competitors, according to Alltech. Five judges graded competitors on their voices, technical skill, interpretation and accuracy.
