Magdalena Aleksovska has had success by winning a place in the Europe Cup for Performers 2020 finals to be held in Malta in April next year.

Magdalena (also known as Maggie) battled through tough auditions in the Young category from the semi-finals in Sofia, Bulgaria and the final in Milan, Italy.

With this success Maggie has made it possible for North Macedonia to take part in this cup competition next year and the future. The competition could possibly lead to even bigger opportunities such as achieving contacts in the world of Broadway musicals.

Maggie also recently took part in the Annie musical show in North Macedonia where she played the part of Miss Hannigan. You can see the show below.

It was in 2015 that Ivana Petkovska & Magdalena Aleksovska represented North Macedonia (then FYR Macedonia) at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with the song Pletenka – Braid of Love.

You can see Maggie perform I’m The Greatest Star by Barbra Streisand from Funny Girl below. Maggie looks confident on the stage with her strong stage presence and vocals.
