Studying abroad in Salzburg
Donation protected
My story
My name is Samantha Feliciano, and this past February I was accepted into the FROST School of Music's program in Salzburg Austria!!
I am currently completing my Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Education (concentration in voice) from Western Connecticut State University. Graduating this May 2018, I am student teaching in both an elementary and secondary placement.

In previous semesters I have had the opportuity to study both classical and jazz voice as well as participate in several operas, choirs, and jazz combos both on and off campus. Throughout my undergraduate career I have performed all across Connecticut as well as competed in vocal competitions. Most recently, I won first place in the 2017 Furman Competition at WCSU for classical solo performance and with a combo.Previously I was ranked in the New England NATS competition and as a finalist in this past summer's Hartford Jazz Soicety's Emerging Artist Compeition.
Included are some examples of my classical performances including one from my past recital and a recent video recording.
Parto, Parto Ma Tu Ben Mio - from La clemenza di Tito by Mozart

De Los Alamos- from Cuatros Madrigales Amatorios by Joquin Rodrigo
*** JUST ANNONCED***
I am holding a fundraising recital for this trip
Saturday April 14th, time TBD at St. John's Episcopal Church in Waterbury, CT
Come support the music and help donate to get me closer to my dream and fufilling being accepted into this amaing program!
*********************************************************
As a future music educator, I believe that students deserve the chance to discover music and uncover their potential to become successful musicians.
Fortunately, I have been able to teach voice and piano privately and see my own students grow in Brookfield CT, Southbury CT and Harrison NY, as well as being
the choir director at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Waterbury CT. These experiences are ones that I learn from everyday, and my goal is to share my passion, and knowledge of music with as many people as I can.
This is why I need your help to send me to Austria and gain a totally new experience to shape both my singing and teaching.

Studying Abroad July 9th-August 9th 2018

This provides students with opportunities to receive 7 graduate credits in voice and language, sing in masterclasses, attend concerts, and learn alongside so many singers touring Austria.
As the birthplace of Mozart, Salzburg holds a festival of concerts and opera unmatched in range and quality. Going to historical sites, events and shows is included in this program. FROST School of Music also offers a chance for students to compete for the chance to sing a public performance in Mirabell Hall of Mirabell Palace which is to be considered one of the most prestigous venues.

While working and completeing my degree, I am unable to pay for the requirements for this trip, and without your help cannot attend.
The total cost of the program is $6,495.00.
$4,195.00 will go towards private lessons, coaching, and master classes and German classes. Once completing this 7 credits will go toward my graduate degree.
$2,300.00 will go towards housing, tours, meals.
Additional program costs are covered in the program price. (transportation to room and board, special event fees, tickets to the Salzburg Festival, and use of practice facilities.)
Thank you for giving me this opportunity
Any generous donation will get me closer to my goal of attending this trip to Salzburg.
This is an exclusive program that most people never get the opportunity to fufill. In attending this trip, I will get the chance to pursue my dreams of singing professionally and gaining tools from so many outstanding musicians and teachers.
I am grateful for all the experiences I have receive so far in my music career and hope to expand them to become a professional vocalist and inspirational educator.
