Nossa que indelicadeza cometi! Nem me apresentei. :)

Oi, sou Helena Costa Santana e tenho 9 anos. Toco piano há 3 anos no Estúdio Ericka Vilela na cidade de Goiânia, Goiás. Tenho muito orgulho de tocar piano e o faço com muito amor e dedicação. Já conquistei dois concursos nacionais do Conservatório Souza Lima em São Paulo. Um foi no ano ano de 2013 na categoria até 8 anos e outro no ano de 2014 na categoria de 9 a 12 anos. Confesso que sinto um friozinho na barriga antes das apresentações, mas depois que sento ao piano parece que a música flui como nos ensaios. Tenho um piano em casa que foi presente da minha Tia Aline (ela também tocava e disse que o piano é emprestado, mas acho que não vou devolver hihi).

Fiz minha primeira viagem internacional para tocar piano. Acredita? Foi para a Itália em 2013. Apresentei, juntamente com Projeto "Músicos Goianos pelo Mundo", em Florença, Milão e Roma. Além de tocar, tomei muito sorvete e comi muito macarrão. Achei a Itália linda apesar do calor que fazia pela época do ano. Além de levar a música brasileira para outros países, sempre que estamos no exterior em turnê, fazemos questão de visitar as embaixadas e consulados brasileiros naquele país. Sinto que representamos parte da cultura brasileira e me orgulho imensamente disso.

Em 2014 fui a Espanha e também com o Projeto, tocamos da bela Barcelona e na capital Madri. Mais uma vez conheci uma nova cultura e tocamos em salas de espetáculos centenárias. Amei a cultura flamenca e até trouxe uma castanhola para apresnder a tocar.

O próximo passo do Projeto será a cidade de Nova Iorque nos Estados Unidos. Mais precisamente no Carnegie Hall. Já imaginaram pisar no mesmo palco onde se apresentou Tchaikovsky? Será uma imensa honra! *_*

Click next to make a dream come true, and see Brazil shinning on the most prestigious stage in the world!

For a pianist, playing at Carnegie Hall is the same as for a football player to play at Maracanã stadium or a ballerina to dance at the Bolshoi. Dream of a lifetime! Do you know who have played there? No less than Frank Sinatra, Beatles and the Russian composer Tchaikovsky, who performed the opening concert in 1891. Definitely not just any stage.

Now I have the opportunity to step on and play at the same place that the greatest musicians in the history also did. But I need your cooperation to ensure this dream becomes reality. I can't give up now; I'm so close on getting it!

Make a contribution on the side, so I can perform at Carnegie Hall! Your participation is essential.

What I propose to reward for my dear guardian angels are pictures and footage. The music that touches the soul, I believe, it’s already a reward. I promise to take pictures and record the presentation, and then send to you with a special dedication. Just keep it safe very careffully, in case I became a famous pianist! ;)

It’s very, very easy to participate. You have to follow two steps:

I'm part of a project called  "Músicos Goianos pelo Mundo" (Goianos Musicians Around the World), developed and created by Studio Ericka Vilela, where I study piano. This group has performed in Austria, Tunisia, Italy and Spain and now we want to play at Carnegie Hall in New York. The presentation is scheduled for June 10, 2015, and until then we have to practice hard and raise money to pay the trip expenses.

 The requested resources will be used to pay the air tickets (me and an escort because I'm underage and can't travel alone), hotel, taxi and recording and photography (otherwise there's no way you can see the performance).

I present you a summary of the values that I'm asking, in order to carry out this dream:

1. airline tickets (mine + escort)- R$ 8,500 .00
2.  hotel and locomotion (mine + escort)- R$ 14,500 .00
3.  rent show room-R$ 1,500 .00
4.  photo and recording- R$ 500.00

I count on your generosity and great heart, Who I already consider my guardian Angel.

Wow, how rude I was! I didn’t introduce myself!

Hi, I'm Helena Costa Santana and have 9 years old. I‘ve played piano for 3 years at Studio Ericka Vilela, in a city called Goiânia.  I'm very proud to be a pianist, and I play with so much Love and dedication.  I won two national competitions from Conservatório Souza Lima in São Paulo: in 2013 (for childs under 8 years) and 2014 (for childs from 9 to 12 years). I confess that I feel butterflies in my belly before I step on stage,  but after sitting in front of the piano, it feels like the music flows, just like it does in my classes. I have a piano in my;s a gift from my aunt Aline (she also played and says the piano is borrowed, but I don't think I'll return it. LoL).

I made my first international trip to play piano, believe that? Italy, in 2013. I also performed with "Músicos Goianos pelo Mundo" in Florence, Milan and Rome. I played, had a lot of ice cream and eat a lot of pasta! I found Italy a beautiful place, despite of the heat that time of year.
