DocuSign Envelope ID:6368FECC-3C91-49C7-983E-AA65A76D339E <br /> with the North Carolina Virtual Public School,the North Carolina Music Educator's <br /> Association, and the North Carolina Arts Coordinators. <br /> Artist Experience– <br /> In 2008, 1 was awarded a grant from the Moore County Arts Council in which I <br /> successfully completed a press kit,containing a professional solo recording (included <br /> here in my application packet). Because I have the experience and resources from my <br /> previous project, I not only have the majority of my current project planned,but I <br /> have also gained artistic popularity with regional orchestras,universities, and arts <br /> organizations—entities who will also help promote my current project. <br /> Additionally, I hold a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University 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 America, <br /> Europe,and Asia,and with the Amadeus Orchestra (United Kingdom),Moscow Ballet <br /> Orchestra, Charlotte Symphony, Columbus Symphony (Ohio),Kalamazoo Symphony, <br /> Long Bay Symphony(Myrtle Beach, SC), and Aspen Festival 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,the North Carolina <br /> Music Educator's Association In-Service Conference,and the National Association for <br /> Music Education Program Leaders' Conference. My knowledge gained through <br /> researching Kauder coupled with my presentation experience should allow me to <br /> 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 /> Along with helping to accomplish my long-term goal of publishing a biography on <br /> Hugo Kauder,this project will undoubtedly be an appreciated addition to an already <br /> vibrant arts scene in Orange County. <br />
