Another audition

I had my CCM Spoleto audition on Monday. It went extremely well. It is always nice to have uplifiting auditions to boost the moral. I had to play Bach Cello Suite No. 2 in D minor Minuet I & II, Strauss' Don Juan and Mendelssohn's Scherzo. I played the excerpts much better than I did for the Aspen audition. Granted, it has been a month since Aspen, but I also had to play more of the excerpts. The Bach was the best that I ever played it. I am really happy with how things turned out. Now, I just need to wait for results. I need to wait until I hear back from Spoleto and Aspen before I can really assess what to do this summer. I have my wants but I am also being pulled in different directions via friends, academics, career and relationships. There is not really a point in stressing out about it until I know which offers lie before me.

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC has run and closed. It is a great show and stark reminder of what I want to do for my career. The singers are going to go far, as is Anthony DeAngelis(the musical director). Michelle Berkowitz and Anthone have been nominated for ACCLAIM awards. Yay for both of them. It is a little surprising that John Riddle and Carlyn Connolly didn't get nominated or Ryan for his sets, but whatever. One cannot control critics. It was a great production. Snaps for everyone across the board.

LE NOZZE DI FIGARO rehearsals are underway with tomorrow being opening night. It is selling really well (almost completely sold out). I am under the stage in the orchestra pit, so I cannot see the set or Hailei Call's Wig/Makeup design, but I do know that the singrs on my track are sick. Sick sick sick. It is a great opportunity once again to play for this show. We will see how it runs.
