The Women's Musical Club McLellan competition took place April 20, 2012, with an unusual result: the two finalists who were able to compete shared the top prize! All three finalists, plus guest soprano Sarah Kirsch and accompanist Chris Kayler, are graduates of the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music!

Pianist Madeline Hildebrand and soprano Jessica Strong shared the $16,000 award. Mezzo-soprano Jennifer Sproule was a finalist, but was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to illness.
