Michael will be singing solo repertoire as well as choral pieces in this concert. Plus there will be a few opportunities for the audience to sing along with some familiar tunes!

“Songs born from struggle have broken barriers and united people the world over. With repertoire from the Holocaust, the Baltic Singing Revolution, the Civil Rights Movement, and other periods of unrest from around the globe, the Metropolitan Chorale explores music as an agent of change.”

Tickets can be purchased online.

"The performance of a full opera by a youth orchestra is an absolutely remarkable and rare accomplishment of which I am very proud. Opera is a fantastic tool for the musical and personal growth of our students because of the rich and intricate musical and psychological story lines that weave in and out of the music in ways that are not seen in a standard symphony."  - Federico Cortese, Music Director
