Help fund my trip to attend my West Coast composition debut!

Hi! My name is Kyle Bergler, and I'm a graduate student majoring in music performance at the University of Nebraska - Omaha.

I have recently been granted the opportunity to have one of my pieces, "Weathering Constructs", scheduled to be performed by the IMPULSE ensemble at the EDME New Music Festival in Eugene, Oregon, this October! This would be my west coast debut, and my first time having a piece performed outside of the midwest, so the chance to attend in person and network with the other musicians in attendance would be great for my career as a musician.

However, travel from Nebraska to Oregon is rather expensive, not to mention the hotel costs and food. I have applied for grants, which will hopefully take care of a chunk of the cost, but even then, they would only cover a portion of the airfare if I get them. Therefore, I thought I'd reach out and see if anybody would like to offer a donation to help me attend the festival! Any little bit helps :)

For those of you interested in learning more about the piece being performed, please check out the video of the premiere at my senior recital last spring! (Program notes in the video description).
