Kate's Musical Cultural Exchange

My name is Kate Sikora, I am an Opera Singer. I currently am working on a Graduate Degree at the University of Missouri Kansas City, I have performed all over the United States and Europe. Classical music is slowly losing its audiences and I want to everything in my power to bring it into homes around the world.

 
Over Christmas and the New Year I am trying to perform a cultural exchange in Japan. By performing for and visiting several high schools in the Osaka-Kobe area, as well as, giving public performances through the American Consulate.


But, though I am in negotiations with several high schools and the Consulate, getting there is quite expensive.  The plane ticket alone is close to $3,000. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
