Classical Singer Competition Results: Project Canción Española Fundraiser for July 2012 Paticipation


I was recently awarded a Full Scholarship at the Classical Singer Competition to participate in Project Canción Española this July 2012.  The scholarship however only covers the cost of the program.  As a result, I am trying to fundraise in order to cover my Room & Board as well as Flight.  I look forward to this experience because it allows me the opportunity to drive into Spanish repertoire.  In addition to increasing my Spanish repertoire I have the opportunity to compete to be invited back to Spain to sing in two concerts (Madrid and Granada) in December 2012.

Your support in my endeavor is greatly appreciated.  I have included a description of the program below.  Any contribution large or small would be greatly appreciated towards this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Thank you in advance.

"Project Canción Española
 was conceived to promote the teaching of Spanish song repertoire around the world so that it becomes a part of the core curriculum in conservatories and university music programs everywhere (including Spain!). Inasmuch as French, Italian, German and English repertoire are required subjects for singers and accompanists who are studying to be professional musicians in music programs around the world, we see no reason why the vast Spanish repertoire should not also be included.

Life of a Young Opera Singer After Graduate School

Recently, I completed a Masters of Music in Classical Voice and Opera.  Now that I have finished that degree I have decided to use this blog to illustrate my journey.  "Where do I go after Graduate school?"

I will use this blog to attempt to answer those questions.  I will share what I am embarking on in my journey and I will elaborate and explore various options.  I hope you stay tuned.  I look forward to hearing from you regarding my posts and what interests you may have so to serve you better.
