Sydney conductor Carolyn Watson’s star continue to rise as she has headed off to Europe for the northern summer. She sent\u00a0 Sounds Like<\/em> Sydney<\/em>\u00a0a ‘postcard’ from Berlin.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m writing this from Berlin where I\u2019ve just arrived. Very fortunately, I was named as the recipient of Opera Foundation Australia\u2019s 2012 Berlin New Music Opera Award, a national prize for the study of post-1945 opera in Germany. The award is open to anyone affiliated with opera at a national level in Australia \u2013 conductors, repetiteurs, directors, designers, choreographers –\u00a0so it\u2019s quite an honour. The Award has facilitated a residency at the Staatsoper Berlin where I am currently engaged as assistant to the MD for their Infektion!<\/em> Festival of Modern Music. More information at:<\/p>\n

Prior to arriving in Berlin I was in Russia where I participated in the St Petersburg International Conducting Masterclass where I was fortunate to be named a prizewinner of the course. To conduct the St Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic in concert as part of their 2012 subscription series was indeed a special opportunity.<\/p>\n

Finally, this week\u2019s good news is that I have been awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study performance practice and training methods of symphonic and operatic choirs in Europe, the UK and the US”.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Carolyn Watson\u00a0!!<\/p>\n
