Cincinnati, Ohio, Date, 2016 – Saint Ursula Academy is proud to announce Alexandra Leurck ‘19 of Hyde Park was chosen to perform at Carnegie Hall with Camp Broadway in May. Each year, the Camp Broadway program selects just 60 students, ages of 12-16, from around the country to perform with The New York Pops in New York City.
Camp Broadway is an award-winning industry leader in theater-arts based programs for children. Leurck, after being invited to audition, was chosen from over 500 amateur performers. The three-day program was filled with master classes in vocal performance, dancing and acting from a creative team including Broadway choreographers and music directors.
Leurck is an experienced entertainer performing both in Saint Ursula Academy theater productions as well as Saint Xavier High School productions. Adding the New York Pops 33rd Birthday Gala experience to her repertoire was a goal of hers that was achieved with the help of Saint Ursula musical directors Katherine Jennings and Kathy Backherms.
