MIRUSIA, Happy Birthday 29 March
Happy Birthday Mirusia
29 March
For everyone's benefit, the correct pronunciation of Mirusia Louwerse's name is:
Mee-roo-sah Louw-er-suh
"My first name is Polish & my surname is Dutch"
Welcome to this website, Mirusia; we are eagerly looking forward to seeing & hearing you as part of Andre's upcoming concert tour in 2007.
I see where you sang Handel's Messiah in Dec 2006 with Bass singer Jack Louwerse. Is that your father?
I also notice you plan to use the $10,000 prize money in the Dame Joan Sutherland award to fly to Florida for private lessons with Horst Hoffman. Is this still in your plans now that you've signed a contract with André?
We sure hope you can see your way clear to decloak & say something.
For everyones benefit, you can listen to Mirusia sing Oh Mia Babbino Caro + 3 other selections. Here is a link to her website & to her blog
At 0901 28 March here in Phoenix, it is already 1201 29 March in Brisbane, Australia
I figure you'll spend your birthday at home with family & then make a long flight to Holland to begin practicing with André & the JSO on or about 1 April. This means you'll leave Australia one day & arrive in Holland the next. 
Talk about jet lag!
A year from now, Mirusia, you will be recognized everywhere in the world by people when you walk down the street. You'll shed a lot of tears of joy in the next 12 months from all the accolades certain to come your way. It's going to be a wild ride.
We all hope today is memorable & look forward to your concert contributions with André & the JSO.
G'Day

Happy Birthday Mirusia (Mee-roo-sah Louw-er-suh)
For every ones edification, I badly mispronounced her name the first time. I could have played it safe & asked her for the correct pronunciation! I didn't play it safe, I guessed
My roo sea ah Lou verse
I won't make that mistake again! Please accept my sincere apology.
Am looking forward to seeing & hearing you on 10 Dec 2007 here in Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A.
When you begin practicing with the JSO in April, please say 'hi" to Arthur (oboe), Agnes (violin) & Nadia (viola). Agnes is from Poland & is fluent in 4 different languages. Look for the young woman with a world class smile, that will be Agnes.

Can you imagine having to sing "Happy Birthday to the likes of Mirusia, a soprano soloist?
I'd ask her to install ear plugs before I gave her my rendition.
Hi Bill: Yes, I am no singer either. I can't wait to hear Mirusia sing to US!

Dearest darling Mirusia,
Your first birthday away from home but how special to find a special birthday page from so many lovely fans even before you have shown them your talents. We know they are going to love you. We are touched by their kind and encouraging words. What a lovely gift! We miss you but know you are in the best of hands with a group of very caring and talented musicians. We wish you a rainbow of love, success and happiness! All our love, Mum & Dad

Mrs Louwerse, you have a lovely daughter!a beautiful face with a voice to match. i believe that lord Byron says it best:
She Walks in Beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Shirley, this a beautiful tribute, for Our Young Lady, I am sure, We will enjoy Her singing, with Andre. Kati
Hi Mirusia, once again happy birthday. Glad to know you had a good flight to Holland. We are missing you already, but we know that our loss will be the musical world's gain. We wish you every success on your American and Canadian tour. We can honestly recommend your CD to everyone. Love from your Australian Fan Club Presidents - Bert and Shirley - Birkdale, Queensland.
I've bookmarked Mirusia's blog , figuring this is the best place to be kept current on her activities.
Hopefully, Mirusia will:
