Barbara Bonney

Good news!
I was selected to sing in the master class with Barbara Bonney! Hooray! She is probably the most famous singer to come to AIMS, and I am so excited for this opportunity! I will be singing Tchaikovsky's setting of the Goethe poem, "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt." (Introducing the poet along with the composer is something that I have learned is very appreciated here - especially if you ask my "Poetry of German Lieder" professor!) The master class is on Tuesday, so send positive thoughts my way on that day. :)

I must apologize for my delay in blogging. I have been so busy this last week. I have two lessons and two coachings per week, plus operetta coachings, plus German diction coachings, and I have recently been selected to sing for the Spanish song concert, so I will now be adding Spanish song coachings to that list. That is on top of classes and finding time to practice anything. Whew-pf-ta!

I don't think that I have yet listed all of the songs that I will be singing. So here is a brief overview.
