I e-mailed Patricia privately regarding this, but maybe someone whose spent
time, or lives in the Austin area, could help me:

Maybe you can help me. What do you know about the Austin area regarding
classical singing opportunities? Because of a variety of personal reasons,
I've been giving some serious thought to moving to Austin but need to make
sure it would be the right move professionally. Of course, where I live
know, in Orange County CA, there's not exactly a cornucopia of venues. I
don't really have an interest in going back to school for my Graduate
degree, though I understand UT is a wonderful school. At my age, the last
thing I'd want to do is go to a city and have people say, "why would you
move to Austin to sing?" Understand my dilemma? Now you may have only spend
ten minutes in Austin but I thought perhaps going there for Graduate school
would have caused you to research the music scene. Perhaps you'll get an
opportunity to speak to some faculty while your there and get a feel for
what's out there. Unfortunately, a great music school isn't always an
indication of a rich performing environment. (see Oberlin!)
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
