Think Outside Your Box

Carnegie Hall - Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Riccardo Muti, conductor

2/4/2015

Had a BLAST this weekend with the Chicago Symphony & Chorus at Carnegie Hall. There were moments that I thought my ears would burst (and wished I had earplugs!) For the sound in that hall was just overwhelming...Standing ovations for both halves of the concert and such a warm reception from the NYC crowd. What an honor and such an awesome experience! Paid to experience a trip to NYC, and sing in one of the world's best halls- what could be better than that? The Chicago Symphony, and Maestro Riccardo Muti simply astound me, I feel so privileged to be a part of it. What a thrilling concert.

"Think Outside Your Box" means 3 things:

1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box". (and for singers, there's more to life than your voice box!) You're capable of helping and healing others.

2. Feel Empowered to bust out of the proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.

3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
