Raphaela Lacerda's Story

My name is Raphaela Lacerda, a young Brazilian conductor, and I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Instrumental Conducting at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa-CA. I was recently admitted to the Cascade Conducting Orchestral Masterclass program with Maestra Sarah Ioannides, however, I really need your help to pay the course costs in order to be able to live this incredible experience.

Over the last few years, I have participated in several courses and masterclasses with renowned conductors, such as: Marin Alsop, Stefan Blunier, Cristian Macelaru, Giancarlo Guerrero, Robert Treviño, Neil Thomson, among others. In 2019, I was a finalist in the Competition for Assistant Conductor of the Experimental Repertoire Orchestra (OER) and also invited to join the Conducting Class of the Academy of Music of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP), under the guidance of Marin Alsop and Wagner Polistchuk. In concerts, I have conducted standout orchestras such as the Minas Gerais Philharmonic Orchestra (OFMG), Santo André Symphony Orchestra (OSSA), Youth Orchestra of the State of São Paulo (OJESP), among others. Nowadays, I am the Assistant Conductor of the Azusa Pacific University Symphony Orchestra. Also, I am the Orchestra Director of the World Music Symphony Orchestra at the Azusa Conservatory of Music.

Participating in the Cascade Conducting Orchestra Masterclass would be a very valuable opportunity for my continued growth and musical-artistic training. I have constantly sought to acquire new knowledge, as well as improving and refining my conducting technique. I truly believe that I would learn a lot from Maestra Ioannides' lessons and experience and that would also bring me even closer to my goal of becoming a professional conductor.

Any amount of money helps me get closer to that goal. Thank you so much to everyone who can share this link and/or contribute to my education and conducting training.

Meu nome é Raphaela Lacerda, uma jovem maestra brasileira, e atualmente estou cursando mestrado em regência instrumental na Azusa Pacific University em Azusa-CA. Recentemente fui admitida no programa Cascade Conducting Orchestral Masterclass com a Maestra Sarah Ioannides, no entanto, preciso muito da sua ajuda para pagar os custos do curso e viver essa experiência incrível.

Ao longo dos últimos anos, participei de diversos cursos e masterclasses com maestros renomados, como: Marin Alsop, Stefan Blunier, Cristian Macelaru, Giancarlo Guerrero, Robert Treviño, Neil Thomson, entre outros. Em 2019, fui finalista do Concurso para Maestro Assistente da Orquestra Experimental de Repertório (OER) e também convidada a integrar a Classe de Regência da Academia de Música da Orquestra Sinfônica de São Paulo (OSESP), sob orientação de Marin Alsop e Wagner Polistchuk. Em concertos, estive à frente de orquestras de destaque como a Orquestra Filarmônica de Minas Gerais (OFMG), Orquestra Sinfônica de Santo André (OSSA), Orquestra Jovem do Estado de São Paulo (OJESP), entre outras. Atualmente sou Regente Assistente da Orquestra Sinfônica da Azusa Pacific University. Além disso, sou a Diretora de Orquestra da World Music Symphony Orchestra no Azusa Conservatory of Music.

Participar da Masterclass da Cascade Conducting Orchestra seria uma oportunidade muito valiosa para o meu contínuo crescimento e formação artístico-musical. Tenho buscado constantemente adquirir novos conhecimentos, além de aprimorar e refinar minha técnica de regência. Eu realmente acredito que aprenderia muito com as aulas e a experiência da Maestra Ioannides e que isso também me aproximaria ainda mais do meu objetivo de me tornar uma regente profissional.

Qualquer quantia de dinheiro me ajuda a chegar mais perto desse objetivo! Muito obrigado a todos que puderem compartilhar este link e/ou contribuir para minha formação e prática de regência.
