Backstage at the Piazza

I'm sitting here, just having finished Act I with a nice break before I'm on stage again. FINALLY a moment to write! Here are some bullet pointed updates: -I will be attending CCM in the fall, working towards my Doctorate of Musical Arts! I'm having a weird sort of reverse senior-itis these days, itching to go BACK to school, but still dealing with responsibilities of my current job(s). Everything worked out well and the choice of CCM became clear. I'm so happy to be able to stay with my teacher and to have secured an assistantship to finance my education. -Wedding plans are coming along well. One of the highlights has been choosing our ceremony music with Jon! It must be similar to a master chef planning their wedding menu. We had an enormous selection of music to choose from, not only from the classical but also Jewish genres. I am so excited to share the music we love and appreciate every day with our relatives an friends. -I have an upcoming performance of Die Schaspieldirektor (once again singing Mme. Herz) on June 9 and 10. Info for that show can be found here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/44388989/mozart-opera-double-bill After that show, I'm planning on putting together my first DMA recital, getting married, moving, and continuing to teach. Oy, it never ends. I love it.
