Manifesting: Carnegie Hall
BIG NEWS, my friends!!! I am delighted to announce that I will be singing at CARNEGIE HALL –Yes, you heard that right!! – on Sunday, April 28, 2019!!!
About five months ago, I submitted a video of myself singing on YouTube as an audition for an open call.. and then waited on pins and needles to find out whether my audition was accepted. Here is an excerpt from the email I received with my fateful results:
Thank you for submitting your audition for DCINY’s 2019 'Sing With Eric Whitacre' project. Based on the quality of your audition recording and your dedication to musical excellence, it is with great pleasure that I extend to you this invitation to participate on the DCINY Concert Series. Please consider this your formal acceptance...
Produced by Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY), I will perform at this special concert of singular choral music under the baton of Maestro Eric Whitacre with hundreds of talented vocal performers from all over the international world. I am deeply honored to be chosen to be a part of this remarkable experience in one of the most prestigious historical venues. We will perform in the Isaac Stern Auditorium stage; tickets begin at $20.00 (and range upward). New York friends, please join us if you can.

My story about this momentous turn of events goes farther back than my audition. A year ago, I wrote a BLOG entry about the power of visioning and setting our intentions. I want you to know that during that time I was already practicing what I 'preached' about mentally rehearsing for my success.. I had the habit of looking at THIS IMAGE below while I was at the gym.. (mostly on the elliptical machine).
This view from the stage at Carnegie Hall looking toward the audience is the exact view I will see when I perform there in April. I looked at it countless times and imagined where my eyes would look in the building and what my heart would be doing and how I would breathe and how I would feel. Every detail became a mental rehearsal for this to happen - and I did that many months (probably at least 6-9 months) before I had this opportunity come into my life, or had submitted my video, or awaited my audition results. Additionally, I mentioned the activity of going to the gym, and I'll share other activities of voice and breath exercises and living my life like a vocalist, foregoing wine and coffee and refined sugar for months at a time. Living my life "as if" it was already happening. I am sharing this inspiring news so that you know what is truly possible in your own life if you are clear with the Universe and with yourself on what you intend.
I also want to celebrate this moment with you, my closest friends, and sincerely thank you for your support and encouragement to me. Thank you for being excited with me!! I cannot wait to share with you pictures from my trip to New York and other behind-the-scenes stories about my experience on this journey.
As always, you can find my music on this website, iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. Please also follow me on my social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news.
