92Ys Recanati-Kaplan Program for Excellence in the Arts (http://is.gd/1qr6s) merit scholar and voice student Ashley LaLonde will be singing the national anthem at the U.S. Open on Saturday, September 5 at 11am. In the video above, Ashley is singing Popular from the musical Wicked as part of our Recanati-Kaplan recitaln held every year. You might remember another notable 92Y School of Music students performance at this recital, a young man by the name of David Alvarez: http://is.gd/1qr2r

11 year old Ashley auditioned to perform the National Anthem at the U.S. Open on Monday, June 8 at Radio City Music Hall as part of an open casting call and was recently notified that she had been chosen to perform. She auditioned for a panel of judges that included Broadway star and American Idol runner-up Diana DeGarmo. She is now poised to enter her second year of the Recanati-Kaplan merit scholarship program at 92Y School of Music. She studies voice with Deadra Hart and is mentored by Ann Hoyt.

Ashleys voice lessons have even inspired her mother Lisa to audition for our Exploring Cabaret class this summer. Lisa is now singing in our Tuesday night class every week from 7-9pm and will be performing a set of songs at Dont Tell Mama, a New York City Cabaret on Tuesday, July 28 at 7pm. Reached via email, Lisa noted how proud she was of her daughter, continuing: Ashley has been helping me with my singing - she is so good! I look forward to (but am a bit anxious for) our finale at Dont Tell Mama later this month.
