Discussing Sofia Gubaidulina’s “Homage à T. S. Eliot” with Thea Derks in Amsterdam on March 28, 2013–such a thrill to have had this opportunity to speak with her and to sing with ASKO | Schoenberg!

S. premiere of Luigi Nono’s Quando Stanno Morendo with ekmeles at Columbia University’s Italian Academy on May 9th. The next day, May 10th, I will sing in Jason Cady’s opera Happiness is the Problem at Roulette as part of Experiments in Opera. Both events will be stellar, and I would love to see you there. (P.S. you can learn more about these performances–and read my random thoughts and ramblings about music, poetry, and art–by checking out my blog: The Single Artificer.)

After a whirlwind trip to Amsterdam last April, coupled with lots of paperwork, waiting, more paperwork (did I mention that the paperwork is still going on?), I will be joining the Netherlands-based group VocaalLAB starting in August as a trainee as well as the understudy for their production MonteverdISH.  Thanks to the hard work in the office of VocaalLAB, I’ve won the Charlotte Köhler Prijzen 2011 from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds to help fund my travel and study.  I could not be more thrilled about this opportunity, and I am grateful as always to everyone who has supported me and continues to support me in my career.  I will return to New York right before Christmas in December.
