Whitacre announces First Paradise Lost Scholarship Winner
February 3, 2010
Today, Eric Whitacre announced the first winner of the Paradise Lost Scholarship: Melody Myers of Tennessee. As the soprano soloist, Melody will join Grammy-Award winning soloist Hila Plitmann as well as a chorus of exceptional singers for DCINY's production of Whitacre's Paradise Lost (concert version).
Wrote Whitacre on his blog, SoaringLeap.com, "Words cannot express how difficult this was...More than once I teared up, completely moved by the spirit and passion of the singing. Bravo to all of you!
"After watching a few times, and writing down our favorites (without showing each other) Hila and I both came up with the same entry: the sparkling, effervescent track recorded by Melody."
Hear Melody's winning recording, and mark your calendar for March 1, when Paradise Lost tickets go on sale at Carnegie Hall!
