Officially one month until I fly out for Germany. And there remains an incredible amount of work to be done! Today I had a meeting with the my school's Turkish liason. We solidified a few details about voice lessons, and he has helped put me in touch with the director of the Istanbul Conservatory to schedule meetings with a Turkish music theory professor and Turkish music history professor. The research I have done so far on both subjects, theory and history, has led me to the discovery that I will have to speak with experts in the subject to better understand it. Like the language, the culture of the music is incredibly detailed and complex. Nevertheless, it remains absolutely stunning and fascinating!
Two days left until the Cecilian grant audition, news of the Graduate grant, and until the New Music Recital. Just as a side note, I will be singing the beautiful "Good Night, Moon" by Glen Roven based on the children's book, Good Night, Moon. It is a very beautiful setting of the book. Back to funding, the Turkish advisor has informed me that he is working hard to find me a scholarship to at least cover to academic costs for the studies in Turkey should the grants fall through. This was a welcomed surprise and a slight weight off my shoulders!!
Today, my German partner and I will be working further to solidify our project for Germany. More news, hopefully very good news, to come!
