After missing the 2011 audition, we had determined not to miss this year's audition. What a sunny day it was not today, the sun was playing hide and seek with us for the better part of the morning. We sat around for awhile, somehow we made there with plenty time to spare-not like usMy husband and I have both been watching especially for singers from Philadelphia(AVA and CURTIS). This year there were two singers from both AVA and CURTIS, Ms. Margaret Mezzacappa-mezzo (AVA) and Mr. Kevin Ray-tenor. Both singers were very impressive and we were especially glad to see Ms. Mezzacappa at the Met. We remember her from her first year recital performance at AVA, already a well seasoned singer then. Our hats off to Ms. Mezzacappa, for giving a very compelling performance! Among the winner, were Mr. Andrey Nemzer--what a VOICE! What control and range! When Mr. Nemzer belted out his high note, our hearts went through a roller coaster ride, I felt the hair on my arms standing up. Bravo and best of luck in the future!!

Congratulations to all finalists and winners! See you all soon on stage!
