Seeking Support
As you may have heard, I was invited by the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) to participate in their prestigious 6-week opera training program this summer in Graz, Austria. I'm thrilled for this opportunity to learn from and perform with talented faculty, instrumentalists, and vocalists from all over the world! I'll be in Austria from July 2 - August 12. The program is well-known for preparing aspiring performers, like me, for a successful transition from student to professional artist.
I'm writing today to ask for your support on my journey. There are several ways you can help:
1) Please follow along on social media and like/share/comment on my posts, especially the ones about AIMS. I don't love posting about myself on social media, but I’m trying to be better since developing a strong online and social media presence is an important part of building my reputation as a performer. Everyone can see my blog posts here on my website at IzzyKoehler.com. If you're on social media, please help me by following my accounts and interacting with my posts.

2) Please consider being my patron. Upon review of my audition materials, the Institute offered me a scholarship worth around 1/3 of the total tuition cost to attend. I'm so honored by their show of confidence! However, I am seeking sponsors to help me cover the remaining tuition, fees, and travel costs. Would you consider making a one-time donation to support me on my journey? 100% of your donation will be applied to my individual costs at AIMS, and your donation is considered a tax-deductible charitable contribution (for everyone other than immediate family members - sorry, mom & dad). To donate, simply visit https://aimsgraz.com/product/donate/, and enter my name in the checkout section.
3) Most importantly, please pray for me! I've been so blessed to have the support of wonderful friends and family, and I’ll appreciate it even more when I'm so far from home. Please pray for safe travels and a successful experience. I'm only able to participate in this amazing opportunity because of the amazing support I receive from my parents and from people like you. THANK YOU for always showing me your love and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Izzy Koehler
