Andrii Ganchuk hasn't added a story.
Hello everyone, my name is Andrii Ganchuk. I am an operatic baritone from Ukraine and am a first year student of 2 years MA Opera Performance course at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
Singing was my hobby as I studied economics and in 2007 got a PhD. Later I worked at the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine for nearly 6 years, during which was fast tracked from chief economist to the deputy Head of Department. In 2014 I got an MBA degree at Strathclyde Business School (Glasgow). But eventually passion for opera convinced me to make a crucial decision in my life, namely to follow my dream – to become an opera singer.
As part of my nature I always strive to a personal development, this is why I applied for a one month summer opera programme at the Berlin Opera Academy where I can prepare and sing the role of Escamillo in "Carmen", a wonderful masterpiece written by Bizet. Few days ago, I was very happy to know that based on my application and interview I was offered a place at the programme and a role of Escamillo. It is a great opportunity for me, as during an intensive period I will be able to work closely with leading opera singers, conductors and directors. Also I will have private coaching to improve my singing and acting skills. It allows me to understand the German opera theatre system, its requirements, in order to prepare myself for a professional life after graduation. I will have an opportunity to be auditioned by the agents and discuss potential employment possibilities.
To know more about the programme you can follow the link below: http://www.berlinoperaacademy.com/index.html
To make it happen I should pay tuition fee, which is 3950EUR. Fortunately I applied for a scholarship to Berlin Opera Academy and was succesful as I got it in amount of 2900EUR. Despite this I still need to pay the rest, which is 1050EUR or roughly 850GBP. I would like to pay it by own but unfortunately I cannot afford it, although I work part-time. The reason is I have to secure the second year of my studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama plus my living expences. So, this is why I am here, to kindly ask for your help, namely your generous support in amount of 850GBP.
I truly believe that any help you provide me with, will help me to go to Berlin Opera Academy to improve myself and in a near future to sing professionaly on the operatic stage.
I would like to thank you all very much, for your time, as you have read it, and also for any decision you will make.
With love and sincerely yours,
Andrii
