AIMS 2024

Donation protected
Hey everyone!

My name is Darien and I am a Senior Vocal Performance Major currently enrolled at James Madison University.

A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to audition for the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) Summer program and I was accepted!

The AIMS Vocal Program is a six week intense program in Austria (Central Europe) that prepares vocalists for a professional career in opera and includes world-class instruction from professionals in the field.

You can find more about AIMS here: https://aimsgraz.com

Sadly, the cost to attend is something I can't do alone so I'm seeking support from my close friends and family alike.

I applied for and received a $3250 scholarship already since my acceptance but there is still a lot of progress that still needs to be made for me to be able to attend this summer.

If I am able to attend, I will be sure to take all those who helped on the journey with me by providing a ton of vlogs and pictures of my trip to Europe to show everyone what it means to be a young Opera singer overseas! There will also be a multitude of performances at the end of the program which will be live-streamed and also open to those who wish to attend in person!

If you guys know me, you know that asking for things like money, likes, and shares, etc. is something really out of my comfort zone so I don't believe I will be able to thank all those who support this fundraiser enough. Each share and donation is truly special to me, no matter the amount, so Thank You.

Thank You Thank You Thank You
