Summer Solstice Adventures

Wow! What a year it has been.  The summer solstice is in two days and in five days I leave for the remainder of the summer to enjoy the bounties of Europe.  I can't think of anyway better to start my summer!

As some of you may know, I was accepted to the Ezio Pinza Council for American Singers of Opera (EPCASO) which is a month-long opera and Italian intensive in Oderzo, Italy.  This program starts in July but before that amazing opportunity I have the absolutely amazing opportunity to tour with Bella Voce Women's Chorus for 10 days through Germany and the Czech Republic. On that tour we will be able to sing in amazing places like THIS and enjoy spectacular food and music related tours.

After the tour and my time at EPCASO I will be touring Europe in the way I've only ever dreamed of.  I will be staying in Italy WWOOFing (follow this link if you're confused what that is) and hopefully getting in touch with new friends throughout Europe, traveling via train.

With such an exciting summer planned I'm going to try and keep everyone updated here with adventures and pictures.  


P.S. I did have an Indigogo campaign to help riase the money for my tuition for EPCASO.  Unfortunately my campaign finished tonight after raising only 15% of my goal.  I did raise quite a bit from individual donations so, thank you to everyone who donated both online and in person.  However, if you still wish to donate please contact me via the comments and I will get you my mailing address.

P.P.S. For those of you who missed my recital or those who want to watch it again - here is the live recording. Enjoy!


Thank you so much for reading!!
