DESCRIPTION:This year’s ‘Level Up’ theme is about bringing into focus\ntomorrow’s stars, showcasing up-and-coming talent and success\nstories, and celebrating what emerging success means for the New\nZealand artists. In "bringing into focus" young talent in Tauranga,\nTauranga Opera Forum is presenting a concert from its 2022 scholarship\nrecipients, in 2021 they entered and won scholarships providing them\nup to a year of professional tuition.\n\n \n\nPerformers are:\n\nANSH DHOT\n\nMy aspirations for my future entail maintaining this art form, as well\nas building my skill set. Growing up with my voice has been a\npleasurable journey, from when I was a nervous small child, to the\nyoung woman I am today. Over the years I have been able to build a\nrelationship with my voice, and have been able to learn something new\nevery time I open my mouth to sing; I hope to maintain this\nrelationship, as well as my habit of learning new skills consistently,\nin the future. \n\nELLA CHAPMAN- HODGE\n\nMy aspirations regarding my future in singing involve graduating from\neither Auckland or Wellington University with a Bachelor of Arts\nDegree. I feel as though this degree would allow me to study an area\nthat I am passionate about, it would give me the opportunity to be\ncreative and understand the format of both Classical and Musical\nTheatre singing. Because I began performing in musical theatre from a\nyoung age, I would like to maintain the skill and knowledge throughout\nmy life whether it is theoretical or practical and even pass down my\nknowledge to the youth. With all of the ensemble choirs that I am\ntaking part in, I would like to take the opportunities that lie within\nincluding travelling abroad whether the location is in Australia, New\nYork, or still in New Zealand, entering larger competitions and making\nnew relations with people who share the same love for singing. I have\nfound that being involved in two specific ensemble groups, Production\nand Luminosa Armonia Chorale, has created a sense of community as\neveryone shares the same love of performing, no matter if their\nsinging ability is advanced or beginner. I feel that everytime I sing,\nI learn something new in order to sing to the best of my ability and I\nhope to carry on that relationship with my voice as I become older. \n\nZOE SHERLOCK\n\nMy entire life I’ve grown up around music. My father’s keen ear\nwhen it came to notes and my mother’s enthusiasm towards singing\nboth rubbed off on me and I would love to share my voice with others.\nFor me, opera isn’t just about the song, it’s about how to portray\nthe emotion the song holds. Singing songs in different languages,\nlearning about the cultures and stories that helped form the song\nitself are all things that I love to do. Over the past few years,\nI’ve began to consider opera as a career path, and I would love to\nbe able to pursue it. My goal is to be able to go as far as I can with\nmy voice. I want to learn more songs and perform them to others. I\nwant to push myself when it comes to singing and be the best I\npossibly can.\n\n \n\nMACKENZIE WILSON\n\nMy name is Mackenzie Willson. I am 15 years old and a Year 11 student\nat Mount Maunganui College. I have always loved to sing and have been\nhaving singing lessons since I was 9. In my free time I love writing\nsongs, singing, acting, creating harmonies, playing ukulele and piano.\nI want to continue singing and music throughout my life as I find it\nis my happy place. Career wise I would like to use my vocal knowledge\nand passion to support others by becoming a Speech Language Therapist.\nI have read about situations where the use of singing has allowed\npeople to overcome speech issues and I feel inspired to learn more\nabout this.\n\n \n\nAIDAN THOMAS PHILLIPS\n\n"Aidan Phillips is a 23 year old Tenor based in Hamilton. He\noriginally lived in the UK where he started his singing journey in\n2011 as a Chorister, before moving out to New Zealand with his family\nin 2013. From that time on he began to take singing more seriously -\ntaking part in school productions, local competitions, joining the St.\nPeter's Cathedral Choir and also the New Zealand Secondary Students\nChoir for 2015-16. Alongside this he was a member of the University of\nWaikato Accellerando programme where he was tutored by Glenese Blake\nand Ian Campbell.\n\n \n\nEMMA TWIGLEY\n\nEmma Pearson was principal artist at the Hessisches Staatstheater,\nWiesbaden, in Germany from 2005 until 2014.\n\nDuring this time, she performed over 30 roles for the company,\nincluding the title role in _Lucia di Lammermoor_, _Zerbinetta\n(Ariadne auf Naxos)_, Woglinde, Gerhilde and Waldvogel in\nWagner’s _Ring Cycle_, Sophie (_Der Rosenkavalier_), Adele (_Die\nFledermaus_) and Norina (_Don Pasquale_) to critical acclaim. On her\ndeparture from the company, the State of Hessen awarded Emma the\nhonorary title of _Kammersängerin_.
