DVS, Volume 1: March, 2014
Awards and Honors
Dear Friends,
It's been a wonderful year so
far, and I'm thrilled to be
sharing news of student
achievements, awards and
upcoming events.
It finally dawned on me
to chronicle these
accomplishments in the form
of a newsletter. In a musical
journey that so often seems
isolating, I wanted to find a
way to create a sense of
community and connection.
And on a personal note,
nothing makes me happier
than hearing from all of you
and celebrating your good
news!
With kindest wishes,
In February, I was honored to be a panelist and one of
three esteemed judges for the Mannes College The
New School for Music, Concerto Competition; Vocal
Division. I sat beside Maestro Frank Nemhauser with
whom I've had the honor of singing at the Berkshire
Choral Festival. It was a great afternoon of wonderful
singing. It is a pleasure to announce this year's
winners: Mizuho Takeshita, soprano who will be singing
Britten’s Les Illuminations and violinist Yada Lee who
will be playing the Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1 in
D major with the Mannes Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall
next season!
Congratulations to Rebecca Lurie who has won the
solo in Azure by Duke Ellington. Rebecca
and the Senior Jazz Band will be performing this Friday
evening. Details can be found on www.laguardiahs.org

This was our first time in the Ann Goodman Hall at the
Kaufman Center. It was a lot of fun and a big success
for everyone. It was heartening to see so many friends
and family members in the audience. Our Featured
Work was the Vivaldi Gloria where students had a
chance to be part of the "choreography of an oratorio"
(stand and sit!) and it was a real treat to give the
concept of a Featured Work a try for the first time! The
students sang various solos and choruses from the
Gloria and did a stupendous job. How glorious to hear
the voices singing together! My idea for The Featured
Work was to create a premise for study and preparation
while giving the students a chance to participate in
selections of an oratorio and to also have the
opportunity to sing together as en ensemble. The
panoply of solo arias, musical theater and song
selections were equally as satisfying and everyone did
beautifully! I was very proud!
The Summer Recital will take place on
JUNE 1, 2014 at the Ann Goodman Hall, Kaufman
Center.
