Newsletter 4/17
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my first ever Monthly Newsletter! The plan is to send out a monthly letter to let you know all of the exciting news about my singing career and education! If you are receiving this, it is because you either signed up on my website or because you’ve said something close to “KEEP ME POSTED ON YOUR EVENTS!” So, here it is!
First, I would like to thank everyone for supporting me in my Fundraising Recital. Because of everyone’s great generosity, I raised enough money to complete all of my graduate auditions. I travelled to Maryland, Minnesota, and New York! It was hectic, but so much fun to be on the go. I met some amazing new friends and learned a great deal about traveling and auditioning. I’m still waiting for results but will keep you posted!
So many exciting things are happening! I’m finally starting to break into the local performance scene here in San Francisco! Up until now, most of my performance has been at school or in auditions. I am in two shows now! Information is below. I was also a finalist in the Henry and Maria Holt Scholarship Competition! The judges had to make some very hard decisions. Everyone performed beautifully and I was really honored to be among the selected few finalists! After the competition, Luana DeVol (Internation Wagnerian Opera Diva) congratulated me and said that she wanted ME to be the winner! I’d say that’s a success!
Yay! Now about the shows!!! I will be making my debut with 42nd Street Moon as Carroll in Very Warm For May as well as Goat Hall Productions in the one act opera George Bush: The Last 100 Days. See information for both shows below.
Very Warm For May
May 5 – May 23, 2010
Music by Jerome Kern
Lyrics & Book by Oscar Hammerstein II
A Giddy romp with a glorious score! Very Warm for May takes the old “barn musical” plot and turns it on its head: an amiable screwball Long Island matron sponsors an avant-garde musical theatre director and his troupe of performers on her estate, with wildly comic consequences. The Kern and Hammerstein’s score soars with All the Things You Are (heard in a stunning arrangement unique to the musical), All in Fun, In the Heart of Dark, Heaven in My Arms, and That Lucky Fellow.
