My connection with the venue

Lots of people asking how I got connected with the venue.  Well, great question.  Let me start with a little introduction about myself:  I am originally from Hungary, have lived most of my years there.  Also lived in London, England for 2,5 years and same period in The Netherlands.  I have currently moved back to NL, was living in the US before, including Las Vegas and Alaska.  I am always searching for great entertainment opportunities and have already heard about the Night of the Proms while living in Hungary. When I moved to the Netherlands, I came across the venue through a TV commercial in 2011 and have checked their website.  It sounded amazing, with all those great singers like Angie Stone, James Blunt, Mick Hucknall (Simply Red), John Miles performing in Rotterdam with the symphonic orchestra.  I absolutely love special events which stand out from the mass and this is certainly something different then a concert itself.  I booked my ticket straight away and was curious to see how can classical music meet pop.  It was an amazing and outstanding experience, though I was little sad that Seal has only performed in Belgium and not in the Netherlands (we always long for more, aren't we?)  Since then, I am always curious to check the line up for the next event and that's exactly what happened this time too...on the website stood the little article stating the opportunity to be an Ambassador and win a trip to the USA as this will be the first time they appear on stage in the States.  Because I am still a little "homesick" , this sounded like a fantastic opportunity to go back to my latest homeland, so I had to give it a go.  Look, where it took me!  I am flying over tomorrow to enjoy the Premier of the Night of the Proms in Dallas, Texas.  Really can't wait.
What did I learn again?  Never give up your dreams! You can fail or loose if you try but if you don't try, you don't even have the chance to win!
