Contest gives chance for Khrystyna to kickstart musical career
-
A TALENTED classical singer from Ukraine whose life was ripped apart by the Russian invasion is hoping to reignite her career at a prestigious competition in North Wales.
Soprano Khrystyna Makar is among 25 singers from around the world who will be vying to become the Pendine International Voice of the Future at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in July.
She fled her war-torn homeland with her two young sons, Denys, now 20, and Lukian, 15, in 2022, leaving her husband, Volodimir, and her parents in their home city of Lviv.
Khrystyna, who lives in Shotton, in Flintshire, will be up against contestants from the USA, China, and South Africa as well as Wales and England.
