Cindy Boote
Hi, I'm Cindy. In May '05 I graduated from the University of Michigan with my Master's of Music in voice. Here's some music from my grad school audition cd (11/02), undergrad senior recital (4/03), and Master's recital (4/05). It's a measure of progress if nothing else. Enjoy!
I'm now a Lecturer in music at Iowa State University and hopefully planning another recital soon... hopefully more songs to come!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I grew up in Hull, Iowa, got my BM from Iowa State University and my Master's from U of M. I'm... relatively sure I'm a high lyric mezzo. Also, I just got my first gig teaching non-majors voice lessons for credit at Iowa State as a Collaborative Instructor. I've now moved up to Lecturer status. It's a very cool opportunity. I also got married in June '07!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Love it. My senior recital was one of the best moments of my life thus far.
Your musical influences
I love Susan Graham and Frederica von Stade--voices that do opera beautifully but shine as much if not more so in song recital.
Anything else?
I'm looking for any sort of performing opportunities in central Iowa, though they may be few and far between at this point. Shoot me an email for all your mezzo needs. :D
