Study abroad in Salzburg Austria

Donation protected







About Me

My name is Amy Cerbie. I am a sophomore Vocal Performance major at Western Connecticut State University and frequently make the Dean's List.

It is my dream to study abroad in Salzburg, Austria in the summer of 2018, as it is a very prestigious program that would help me to better myself as a young musician.

Ever since I was a child, I knew I had a passion for singing. I grew up singing in my childhood church, and I now have the honor of being a music intern at FCC in Ridgefield, CT. Being able to share music with others is the greatest gift anyone could ask for. I cherish every moment I have teaching the children's choir at the church.

In September 2017, I was hand selected among several WCSU students to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House in the chorus for the rock opera "Quadrophenia", where I had the distinct honor of sharing the stage with Pete Townshend, Alfie Boe, and Billy Idol.

Help Me Realize My Dream to Study Abroad In Austria

When I was a freshman, I was accepted to the Salzburg program, but I was unable to attend for financial reasons.

The Salzburg Festival officially began on August 22, 1920, and it has long been regarded as one of the world’s most important festival’s for opera, concerts, and dramas, attracting leading performers and audiences from around the world.

The Baroque Marble Hall of Mirabell Palace is considered to be one of the most beautiful and historically significant concert halls in Austria. The Mozart family performed here for Salzburg´s royalty.

Every year FROST School of Music in Salzburg students compete for the chance to sing a public performance in this glorious venue.

This is a program through The University of Miami.


What Your Generous Donations Will Fund

The total cost of the program is $6,495.00.

$4,195.00 will go towards lessons, coaching, and master classes, and $2,300.00 will go towards housing, tours, meals (breakfasts, weekday lunches).

All additional program costs are covered in the program price, from ground transportation to room and board, special event fees, tickets to the Salzburg Festival, and use of practice facilities.


In Closing

Having the opportunity to be included in this exclusive program will offer me not only the experience of a lifetime, but a well-rounded education that will help me broaden and further my career possibilities.

Each generous donation offers me the ability to take one step closer to fulfilling my dream as a performer while being able to give back to a community that has so greatly nurtured me.
