SPONSORSHIP
Even though I have now finished my masters at Guildhall, I am still at a crucial point in my training and am reliant on financial support to continue to dedicate myself to studying: be that booking practice and rehearsal rooms, making applications or simply paying for lessons and coachings. My pay only just about covers my rent, travel and living costs and, even though I am determined to continue to improve, it is still very challenging to find the funding required to achieve a career in opera.
Any amount would be very gratefully received, be that a one-off donation or a regular contribution to a specific area of my training. Equally, if you have any advice about suitable awards or grants to apply for, I would also be very interested to hear.
If you are interested in sponsoring me please send me your details via my 'contact' page and I will be happy to send you a formal application along with more information about how to do so and what I am able to offer in return.
