Lenny goes to German Music Festival
Donation protected
Greetings Facebook Family:
I am Leonard Hayes, but I'm often referred to by Lenny. I'm a recent piano graduate of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY (M.M). Currently, I am an Adjunct Minority - Intern at the Schenectady County College of Music where I teach piano and Music Fundamentals. I've been fortunate to receive many awards and prizes in state and national competitions. Most recently I was named scholarship winner of the 2015 National Piano Competition sponsored by NANM. As a result of my winning, I received an invitation by philanthropist Peggy Shiver's to perform in The Shivers Concert Series held annually in Colorado Springs, CO in early March 2016. After my successful performance, I was invited to attend the International Summer Academy of Music in Ochsenhausen Germany from the academy director, Ofer Ben - Amots (composer and pianist).
On July 22 - August 5, 2016, I will participate in a two - week intensive academy which is limited to 12 pianists, 12 composers and 12 organists from around the globe. I will engage in daily lessons, lectures, master classes, concerts. Most exciting for me, I have also been invited to participate in the Academy’s piano competition, which concludes the festival. The competition will give the following prizes: 1st winner: 3000 Euros, 2nd winner: 2000 Euros, and 3rd winner: 1000 Euros. As a selected participant, I look forward to refining my musical skills and deepening my intellectual curiosity.
Need: While I am very excited for this opportunity, and am humbled that the academy director is excited about my participation in the festival, the endeavor is quite expensive. The trip which includes airfare, tuition, in-country transportation, lodging and most meals will cost $3,300. The tuition, which includes room and board, is 990 Euros (1,118.12 USD) and airfare is between $900 to $1300. The airfare is subject to change depending on how soon I purchase a ticket.
ISAM will provide me a modest scholarship, but I am hoping that the Facebook Family is able to assist with generous monetary gifts to cover the cost of airfare, transporation within the country, and some meals.
Deadline for fundraising is: April 15th.
Thank you so much for considering.
Smiles,
Respectfully,
Leonard (Lenny) Hayes
