Hello!
They announced results for the travel grant through the school system, and unfortunately I did not
receive one of them. You win some and lose some.
The audition for the Cecilian grant seemed to go very well. They stopped my aria right before I
sang my extremely high note, and my pianist commented that it was most likely because all the rest
of the song was incredibly loud especially the other high notes. The pianist did say that it sounded
absolutely wonderful. A portion of the audition included an interview where the panel asked me about
my project. They began the interview by saying that I had an incredibly unique and exciting program
and ended by saying that "it will be interesting to talk to you when you get back and hear how your
musical ear has changed" after learning Turkish music. I am hoping that is a good sign!
With the sinus infection still raging and now turning into a head cold, I am going to take this weekend
off from singing and get as much done with research in the German portion of the summer project and
making sure I have my five opera arias, resume, and audition info compiled and ready for trip. Have a
beautiful weekend everyone and keep thinking good thoughts! When God closes a door, He opens a
window-we just have to stop staring at the closed door and turn around to see the open window! :)
