So I feel like a main purpose for this blog will be for keeping up with the singing that is going on in other universities and with other singers our own age. It seems so easy for collegiate singers to seem content with their progress and pace, pace more than anything. A little fear would seem to go a long way in understanding that, there is singing going on outside of our familiar walls that is equally as unbelievable as anything we have heard, and in a lot of cases better.


The Elixir of Love to be Featured on KHFM
Tune in to Classical KHFM on Saturday evening at 7 pm MDT for a special broadcast of "New Mexico Performs" featuring the soloists from The Elixir of Love. The one-hour show includes extended musical excerpts from the opera, as well as a delightful commentary by Jennifer Black (Adina), Dimitri Pittas (Nemorino), and Patrick Carfizzi (Belcore). KHFM can be heard at 95.5 and 102.9 FM in northern New Mexico, and from anywhere in the world via streaming audio at http://www.classicalkhfm.com/ .

Better in moderation, allegedly

Since I am so privy to reading, and keeping up with, other's blogs, I have decided to go ahead and start one of my own. As of right now, not entirely sure what I will blog about, general blogging topics.....life, arts, reactions, the inane, the mundane and I guess, everything in between.
