HELP SUPPORT A DREAM - FUND EMILIJA'S STUDIES AT MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC

Some may call it excessive ambition, dreaming of the impossible but my life’s biggest passion is musical theatre.

I am a graduate of the musical theatre department at Riga Cathedral Choir School, and I have been accepted to the BFA program at one of the best music schools in New York - Manhattan School of Music. I have also received a scholarship that covers half of the cost of tuition. And yet, I still need material help for my dreams of pursuing musical theatre in New York. The other half of the tuition is 25,000$/year and the estimated living costs are another 25,000$/year. The program is four years. In order to make my dreams come true and become the first Latvian musical theatre student in the US, I need $50,000/ year.

I ask you to support my dream of Broadway and donate. Any amount can make a difference.

You can also contribute by donating to the newly-created foundation "Magnum Somnium"

The goal

  • The cost of tuition for one year is $50,000 dollars and half of the amount is covered by the scholarship, the estimated living expenses are another $25,000. A full year of studying at Manhattan School of Music and living in NYC add up to $50,000.
  • My goal is to cover the financial means for the first year and have a start for the second year, which is why the goal for this fundraiser is 50,000 euros.
  • I am planning to apply for multiple other scholarships for the second year and further on. However, since the scholarships are only eligible for residents of NY, it is not an option right now. I will also be applying for a work-study program to cover everyday payments since it is not permitted for international students to work outside of school.

About me

I first got involved with music at the age of six when I started playing piano and singing in choirs in music school. By the time I was about to start high school, I was already sure that I would want to pursue music professionally so I started studies at Riga Cathedral Choir School in the musical theatre department. The first time I saw a show in the West End, it bewitched me. I was amazed how a story could be told by song, dance and emotion. At that moment I realised - this is what I want to be doing.

So far, I have used all opportunities given to be a part of the music scene in Latvia. I have taken part in the making of musical as a performer and as co music director, I have also been performing as a solo artist.

In the last few years, I have also attended many musical workshops, for example, Weekend Vocal Workout at Royal Academy of Music in London. And I have also taken part in multiple private and group lessons with incredible teachers and artists such as Carole D’Andrea, Robin Morse and Stefan Miller who have acknowledged my passion and potential for the genre.

The next step in my career is possible by attending the school of my dreams – Manhattan School of Music – and learning from the best.

Support my dream of becoming the first Latvian musical theatre student in the US!
