In 2013, as a SongFest Stern Fellow, he performed John Musto’s The Brief Light at The Colburn School in Los Angeles, where he also performed Ravel’s famous Don Quichotte a Dulcinée with famed accompanist Martin Katz.. He appeared in recital as part of Juilliard’s Songbook series, Schubert & Co, as well as at the Bruno Walter Auditorium in Lincoln Center, the Chautauqua Institution, the Eastman School of Music, and Juilliard Pre-College.
He has such a bright future ahead of him!
ReplyDeleteI went to LaGuardia High school with him we were in Senior Chorus together during his senior year. He's really talented. He sang the baritone solos in Carmina Burana, the year before I was in the chorus, and I remember being blown away by his tone. He's not much of an actor, but that he can always worked on! My only criticism of him is that he is really too much of a pompous asshole. I know people now who say the same thing about him! If he tones that down he'd be wonderful, because he really is talented, and decent looking!!!
