This past weekend we had the honor of having Naomi Smith who is performing the title role of Esther perform a beautiful piece called “Intorno all’idol mio.” This was a perfect opportunity for Naomi to perform her piece because she was auditioning for Nyack College’s Vocal Performance Program the following day.
She had a successful audition and here are some of her highlights that she shared with us. This is some good information for some of you who are readying for college auditions because you just never know what to expect. Naomi mentioned that she audited an ear training class of which she found quite interesting. Faculty proceeded by choosing random pieces for her to sing liking “Intorno all’idol mio” and told her to keep it for her upcoming summer competition. They tested her range and then asked to sing in front of the professor’s class of top students, talk about being put on the spot. Needless to say, they loved her and was invited to the professor’s upcoming concert and looking forward to her coming back.
That is a wonderful report of what sometimes can be a very unpredictable process because you just never know what to expect. Enjoy the piece and Naomi’s performance.
Until the next time,
