Hi Everybody!
My name is İKO and this is a blog about my personal experience!
This is a blog about music.
About choral singing.
And about how happy I am singing with the BEST choir of Turkey!
Isn't that statement a little too pretentious? It can sound like that but who cares? Moreover, I strongly believe that it really is (not because I sing in there):))
Anyway, everything started last fall when I courageously decided to try the audition of my choir. (I don't give the name of the choir because nobody knows that I started this blog and I don't know how they would react about it. So I keep it anonymous) As a matter of fact, last year I sang with them too in a project choir, with a larger number of chorists. We did a fantastic year of German Romantics... But that was a kind of temporary formation and at the end of the year, that was it, the choir was gone! There was always, a core, since 2010, as a permanent choir... I know it is a little too long to explain it. I try to put it in a different way:
I did the audition and now I am in that CORE CHOİR!
How did it happen, I still don't understand because I am very new in all this. But all I can say is that, every rehearsal we do, every concert we give is an incredible experience for me.
Who am I?
Well, I am a woman, living in İstanbul, married (no children), working on different fields with various interests. Such as:
Tour Guide/Tour Manager
Radio Producer
Travel Writer
Poet ( Haiku )
Landscape Photographer
Language Teacher (Portuguese and Italian)
Asemic Writing Artist
Speaker
I earn my life working as a professional tour guide and manager. And I give language lessons... All the rest, is for my pleasure but I can assure you, I work A LOT!
And now I am also an ALTO SINGER! And that takes a lot of my time and energy because I (honestly) am very new in choral singing world. I have my shortcomings (quite some) and in order to keep up with my experienced and very talented choir friends, I MUST work very hard! And I AM!
So in this blog, I will share my choral experience.
Hope you like and read it!
Oh, one more thing: Please ignore the mistakes in my writing, English is NOT my native language and is NOT the only language I speak, read and write...
Bye for now!
