I will be singing the Baritone Solo in Brahms’ German Requiem with Symphony Silicon Valley in San Jose, CA. Not only is it probably my favorite of all the major works for chorus and orchestra, but I will be working once again with Maestro Gregory Vajda, who conducted [...] I am very happy to be making my first appearance at Carnegie Hall this Sunday, January 30 at 2PM. I will sing the role of La Chef de la Flotte with the American Symphony Orchestra in a concert performance of the rarely performed opera Bérénice, by Albéric Magnard. This dramatic tour de force, considered by [...] Strangely enough, I greet you once again from Germany. More auditioning. It is long overdue, however, that I report what a fantastic time I had singing Colline in Atlanta Opera’s La Boheme. We had a stellar cast with great chemistry and energy to boot.
