Astrid recently completed the Juilliard Pre-college Program for voice.
Last year attended the Amadeus-Vienna International School where she received a voice scholarship. She had amazing opportunities in Vienna and has sung in some of Vienna’s most beautiful concert halls: Theater An der Wien and Musikvereine. She took in much of the culture and attended several operas and musicals. She was sad to leave Vienna, but very excited to be moving to NYC.
Astrid spent the summer 2019 (a very short summer) in two programs to create college prescreen videos: Juilliard's Classical Voice program in Florida where she trained with Amy Shoremount-Obra for two weeks and then at Broadway Artists Alliance's Musical Theatre College Audition Workshop training with their amazing Broadway staff.
The summer 2020 is proving to be much longer...
The summer of 2018, Astrid studied for four weeks at the Bel Canto Institute in Florence, Italy. The Institute was founded by Jane Klaviter, formerly of the Met Opera, to give young and pre-professional students from around the world an opportunity to study classical voice & Italian language surrounded by the beautiful architecture and culture of Florence. Astrid received the Performance award along with four university and post graduate voice and accompaniment students. The award brought them to upstate New York for a further week of coaching with Ms. Klaviter and a performance at the Sembrich Opera Museum.
Astrid grew up in Phoenix, Arizona in a Spanish dual language school, and has studied singing since she was six years old, the most recent four years have been with Vocologist Nancy Harris. She has sung in numerous musicals, concerts and competitions and was born to be onstage. She has studied acting and loves Shakespeare. She has spent several summers in NYC studying music theatre and acting with Broadway performers at Broadway Artists Alliance. She has a great, and at times, somewhat macabre sense of humor and a fun, infectious laugh. She approaches her art professionally and is a joy to work with.
She was born on a rare rainy night in Phoenix and continues to sing in the shower daily.
