Update from Austria
25 April 2024
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your support through this Givealittle. It is closed now, so here's a quick update. If you would like to follow my journey further have a look on: https://www.facebook.com/roselightviolin . Or send me your email and I will add you to my Newsletter (4x per yr).
I am loving studying in Graz! I am playing in a string trio coached by the First Violinist of the Jerusalem String Quartet and I will soon be joining the University's Opera Orchestra for 4 performances of 'The Merry Widow'. My violin teacher is the Concertmaster of the Vienna Opera Orchestra and I am so enjoying her classes.
I was grateful to be accepted into a couple of music summer programmes in Europe and the Domaine Forget Academy in Quebec. I will attend one in Serbia called the Stefan Milenkovich Institut, where I will stay for 3 weeks of intensive violin lessons, chamber music, theory and physical training. These summer programmes are very competitive, so I am excited to be participating. I'll post updates on my Facebook page if you'd like to see what I get up to there.
I've enjoyed some travelling around Austria since being here and look forward to exploring more of Europe soon.
Thank you to those of you who have financially supported me studying here, I could not have done this without you. If you would like to support me further, with university study or to attend the summer programme in Serbia, feel free to contact me roseviolin112@gmail.com
Many thanks! :)
