This is the Place!


 Honestly I have no idea what in the world is happening on this blog thing! it is far too confusing and hard to use for me haha!!

But, I thought I'd take a second and fill you all in on my life and what is happening in my life!

So, first of all I moved to Salt Lake City! I got a $27,000/year scholarship to Westminster College and I am there singing now! It is definitely an interesting change, but it is very accepting and pretty fun so far! I am singing in their chamber choir and they made me a section leader which kind of sucks... I guess I don't get to be too lazy anymore. As a choir we are traveling across France for two weeks this coming May!
I am also their lead tenor in the Opera program, so I am playing Fenton in The Merry Wives of Windsor this January!

Another cool thing happened this past weekend as well! Thursday night I got a phone call from a random number which I usually don't answer, but I chose to pick up thinking it was a possible car interest (because I am also selling my car) BUT, it ended up being the Utah Opera Company! They called and offered me a spot in their chorus for the upcoming Opera Tosca. I am so excited to be a part of a professional show and get paid to sing actually! It is very intimidating in rehearsals because I am by far the youngest person there. I think I am the only one under 30! But it has been such an incredible experience and I can't wait to preform at the Capitol Theatre!
These are the scores I am working on! One in English
and the other in Italian!
Do you all remember when we went and saw Wicked! at the Capitol theatre?!!? Well who would have thought just a few years later that I would be preforming in a professional show there??! I hope everyone can come see it!
My very first Porfessional Contract! Check out that Hancock!;)
