Ah! I have been so giddy the past 36 hours! Why, you ask? Because this lucky girl got FREE tickets to Dawn Upshaw's song recital last night! :) AND THEN...the lovely Ms. Upshaw came to my school this morning, and we chatted. ACK! Amazing. :)
Dawn Upshaw is not only a brilliant musician with a gorgeous voice and shimmering high notes, but she is also the sweetest, most down-to-earth person ever! She's the "real deal," and both her musical intentions and her personality reveal this. I was in awe just to be in her presence. (...but don't worry, I kept my cool this time...unlike the Audra experience! haha!). Some of us voice majors had a lovely chat with her for part of the morning. She kind of reminded me of my mom. ;) And seriously, that recital last night was exquisite!
I am SO inspired right now! And the inspiration and moments of musical beauty just keep coming at me this weekend...Tonight was a concert by guest artists Alan Darling and The Mirror Visions Ensemble at the school, and tomorrow night, Haydn's Creation at Jordan Hall with the stunning voice of soprano Amanda Forsythe. Going to be FABULOUS!! (However, she is pregnant and due in a few weeks, so...say your prayers that baby doesn't come early! haha! My voice coach said that he told that baby to "stay right where you are and don't come out yet!" Oh, man!)
