Taos Summer Opera Institute

I have been accepted into the 2012 Taos Opera Institute, a professional summer opera training program in the beautiful Taos Ski Valley of New Mexico.  I will attend TOI during the month of June, and will receive daily instruction from voice teachers and coaches with international experience.  In addition, I will also enjoy dramatic training, language coaching, special sessions addressing performance strategies and psychology, master classes lead by esteemed guest artists, and daily fitness and strength training (including yoga, cardio, tai chi).  This program signifies a crucial step in my artistic development and will help prepare me for success as a singer.

However, in order to take advantage of this exciting opportunity, I need to raise money to cover my tuition, which is $3500.  This price includes everything that TOI has to offer (even a trip to the Santa Fe Opera!) except incidentals.  If you can help with a donation, I invite you to sponsor me with any amount you can give---$25, $50, $100, or even the change in your pocket.   Your contribution will enable this dream for me, and allow my participation in the Taos Opera Institute this June.

  If you have any questions on how to make a donation, or just to say hello, feel free to contact me [[email protected]]. For more information about the Taos Opera Institute program, please visit www.taosOI.org.

I cannot imagine my life without music, and thank you for supporting my dreams.  I am excited to share my future successes with you!
