Artist Experience– <br /> In 2008, I was awarded a grant from the Moore County Arts Council in which <br /> I successfully completed a press kit, including a professional solo recording <br /> (included here in my application packet). Because I have the experience and <br /> resources from my previous project, I not only have the majority of my current <br /> project planned,but I have also gained artistic popularity with regional orchestras, <br /> universities, and arts organizations—entities who will also help promote my <br /> current project. <br /> Additionally, I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the U niversity of <br /> Cincinnati, a Post-Graduate Performance Diploma from the Royal Academy of Music <br /> (London, UK), a Diplome from the Academie Internationale d'Ete de Nice (Nice, <br /> France),and Master and Bachelors degrees from the Peabody Institute of the Johns <br /> Hopkins University. Besides my education, I have extensive performance experience <br /> internationally as a soloist, chamber musician,and orchestral musician. I have <br /> performed in solo and chamber recitals and competitions throughout North <br /> America, Europe,and Asia, and with the Amadeus Orchestra (U nited Kingdom), <br /> Moscow Ballet Orchestra, Charlotte Symphony, Columbus Symphony(Ohio), <br /> Kalamazoo Symphony, Long Bay Symphony(Myrtle Beach,SC), and Aspen Festival <br /> Orchestras (Colorado). <br /> As I mentioned earlier, I am planning on presenting lecture recitals focusing <br /> on Kauder in the coming year. Recently, I have had experience in presenting similar <br /> lectures for the University of Cincinnati Lecture-Recital Series, Rutgers University <br /> Conferences, North Carolina Virtual Public School Professional Development <br /> Meetings, the North Carolina Arts Coordinator's Annual Meeting, and the National <br /> Association for Music Education Program Leaders' Conference. My knowledge <br /> gained through researching Kauder coupled with my presentation experience <br /> should allow me to confidently speak about Kauder and his musical contributions. <br /> In conclusion, my project promoting the chamber music of Hugo Kauder is <br /> three-fold: a CD recording,local concert performances, and regional lecture recitals. <br /> This undertaking will surely have a substantial impact on the community of Orange <br /> County through free regional performances,the use of local recording venues and <br /> artist collaborators, and distribution of the recording throughout the community. <br /> Alongwith helping to accomplish mylong-term goal of publishing a biography on <br /> Hugo Kauder,this project will undoubtedlybe an appreciated addition to an already <br /> vibrant arts scene in Orange County. <br />
