And so it begins...

I'm off to NYC today. I'll be attending conductors guild annual conference to do some networking, learn about mahler, and perhaps decide if I want to go into conducting. This is something I've been considering lately as frightening as it may sound. Hopefully attending the conference will clear up some things for me and I can figure out something. Also, the conference is focusing a lot on Mahler---who I LOVE. I can't wait to learn more about his music.
The second part of the trip is my going to long island to spend some time with friends. I'll be staying at Dan's house which i'm very excited about. His family is wonderful and I can't wait to spend some time with them.
The last 4 days will be spent taking auditions. I got turned down for an audition at stonybrook which, while it sucks, has proved a great motivator for me to really kick ass at the rest of the auditions. I'll try and update this blog while i'm running around in the city---but I can't make any guarantees. Until next time....
