RE: Anna Mercer singing Gabriel Fauré "Les berceaux" (Cradles), Op. 23, No. 1
Very nice, as always! Thanks for posting. I was just thinking a couple weeks ago that I hadn't seen any of her performances recently.
We're currently looking at colleges for 2020. Will she be going to a music school? @cmp2020 wants to study music composition, but it seems like there are two sets of schools out there. One set is "all in" on music, or the other set that might not be as strong in music, but also has programs in business or computer science, to develop marketable job skills in a 2nd major, in case it takes a while to break into the music industry. We're looking at both, but there are good arguments either way...
Hi @remlaps Nice to hear from you.
Anna has been performing regularly, but we have not been putting much of her music out there. As she was talking with various universities we wanted to make sure that we controlled what they were seeing and hearing.
Choosing a school can be tough. Anna is planning to study opera performance. She will end up doing that in the University of Toronto. That is the best school for opera studies in Canada. There are some other schools like the Glenn Gould Conservatory which are focused only on music. For Anna U of T seems like the best fit.
It is all very exciting. Great to hear that @cmp2020 is preparing for music post-secondary.
