A Rolling Stone Gathers No Moss!
The rest of the "lazy" summer is long gone. The final show of last season, EMMELINE, went on until mid-June. Now I need to make preparations for the wild and crazy upcoming season, along with trying to get an agent! Big job! PIles of music are strewn all over the house, in bags, in and out of 3 ring binders and in the trunk of my car. (I always leave one set of audition music and materials in my car. One never knows when it might be needed!)
The list of tasks at hand is insurmountable at times. After the audition is over, and the concert/performance awaits, the first task of many is to learn and embody the music. Because of the many years I was away from singing, every job I get is new to me. When I was in my early 20s I studied lots of different pieces with my voice teacher, but that was many moons ago. Thankfully I learn music quickly!
So here is the exciting list of "seems new to me" music that I have been working on for the upcoming season.
CARMINA BURANA - Grand Rapids Symphony Nov. 2010
HAYDN'S PAUKENMESSE - Napa Valley Youth Symphony Nov. 2010
MESSIAH (ok, this is quite familiar) - Pacific Symphony Dec. 2010
BRAHMS REQUIEM - Oakland East Bay Symphony Jan. 2011
Papagena - Sacramento Opera Feb. 2011
Cora in the West Coast Premiere of Stephen Paulus' THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE - Sacramento Opera May 2011
Recital - Crocker Art Museum Concert Series Sept. 2011
Such luck to have an incredible variety of work this season!

I'm inspired by your "music all over the place" story, I need to be a little messier! How are you going about finding an agent? Choose wisely, your agent will be a lucky duck.
