Sou Tamiris Paes Souza, tenho 22 anos, e violinista. Comecei a estudar música aos nove anos, na Escola de Música do Estado de São Paulo (EMESP), e em 2013, fui admitida em primeiro lugar no curso de Bacharelado em Música - Violino, na Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), no qual me graduei como primeira da turma, (média final do curso de 9,36 - GPA de 3,74 / 4,0). Além disso, apresentei meu trabalho de conclusão de curso e ele foi aprovado com a maior nota possível.
Desde 2012 tenho tocado na Orquestra Jovem do Estado de São Paulo, através da regência de Claudio Cruz. Durante esse tempo, tive a oportunidade de tocar com grandes solistas e maestros, além de poder me apresentar em importantes lugares, como Sala São Paulo, Lincon Center of Performing Arts, Kennedy Center e Berlin Konzerthaus.
Em 2015, fui convidada a participar do Curtis Summerfest - Young Artist Program, programa de verão da Curtis Institute of Music. Durante minha participação, tive a oportunidade de ter aulas de violino com Ida Kavafian, Jessica Lee, Rebecca Harris e Steven Copes; e também pude participar da orquestra como Spalla durante durante as três semanas do programa.
Sou apaixonada pelas coisas que faço. Acredito firmemente que a música tem o poder de mudar vidas, no contexto social, cultural e espiritual, servindo como meio de expressão pessoal. Ela mudou minha vida e espero estar mudando a vida das pessoas com quem divido minha arte.
Recentemente, fui aprovada com bolsa para o programa de mestrado em violin performance no Canadá, e para isso, preciso de um instrumento melhor. Meu violino atual é muito simples, com muitas limitações. Pouca projeção, pouca variação timbrística, sem boa resposta nas notas agudas, e som de um violino de estudante. Para o repertório de mestrado, precisarei de um instrumento capaz de responder aos estímulos e dificuldades estipuladas. No momento, apesar de trabalhar como violinista freelancer há alguns anos, não consegui ter o dinheiro necessário para adquirir um instrumento a nível de mestrado, e por isso preciso de tua ajuda.
Sinceramente,
Tamiris Paes Souza

English version:
Recently, I was awarded a full scholarship for the master's program in violin performance in Canada, and for that, I need a better instrument.
The purpose of this project is to raise money to buy a violin for my master's degree in performance, with which I can evolve and become a better performer and bring joy and peace to the people around me through music.
At the moment I have a violin with sound limitations, which makes it very difficult to prepare the demanding repertoire that is asked of me.
A little about me:
My name is Tamiris Paes Souza, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a violinist. I started studying music at the age of nine at the State Music School of São Paulo (EMESP), in 2004. In 2013, I was admitted to the Bachelor of Music Program in Violin Performance at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). I graduated from my undergraduate program in December 2016, with the highest grades in the class (final course average of 9.36 - GPA of 3.74 / 4.0). In addition to that, I submitted my final paper and it was approved with the highest grade possible.
Throughout my musical career, since 2012 I have played in the Youth Orchestra of the State of São Paulo, conducted by Claudio Cruz. During this time, I had the opportunity to play with great soloists like Marc Coppey, Jennifer Stumm and Ryu Goto, Washington Barella; and work with great masters such as Frank Shipway, George Stelluto, Rolf Beck, Bruno Mantovani, Guillaume Bourgogne and Vladimir Ashkenazy. In addition, over the last five years we have been invited to perform on a number of occasions, such as the Young Euro Classic, Grachten Festival, Iberian Suite Festival, Lincon Center of Performing Arts, Kennedy Center and Berlin Konzerthaus. In 2014 we were awarded in the category "Young Talent" by Concerto Magazine. We also recorded two CDs: one with Antonio Menezes and another with Cristian Budu.
In addition to my experience and opportunities in the orchestral setting, I had other solo career opportunities such as being invited to attend the Curtis Summerfest (Young Artist Program) summer program in 2015. During my participation at Curtis Summerfest I had the opportunity to have violin lessons with Ida Kavafian (Curtis and Juilliard School teacher), Jessica Lee (Rutgers University), Rebecca Harris (Philladelphia Symphony Orchestra) and Steven Copes. I was also able to join the orchestra as Spalla during the three-week program, led by Troy Peters, Adam Flatt and Paul Bryan (Curtis), as well as being part of the chamber group that performed Stravinsky's "soldier's story", septet version.
My academic and career goals include the master's degree to develop my skills as a musician and, consequently, pursue my academic career as a university professor. Likewise, I want to prepare for orchestra auditions, violin competitions and be part of a ensemble / ensemble to play chamber music.
So I can say that I'm in love with the things I do. I learn fast, I am very focused, dedicated, I love challenges, and I really try to do my best in every detail. I firmly believe that music has the power to change lives, in the social, cultural and spiritual context, serving as a means of personal expression. It changed my life and I hope to be changing the lives of the people with whom I share my art.
Recently, I was awarded a full scholarship for the master's program in performance at the University of Victoria, Canada, and for that, I need a better instrument. My current violin is a very simple violin, with many limitations. Little projection, little timbre variation, without good response in the sharp notes, and sound of a student violin. For the master's repertoire, I will need an instrument capable of responding to the stimuli and difficulties stipulated. Unfortunately, such an instrument has a cost of starting at 5 thousand dollars. At the moment, despite working as a freelance violinist, I could not afford the money to buy such an instrument, so I need your help.
Sincerely,
Tamiris Paes Souza
