You clearly haven't listened to his CD, Something's Gotta Give, released in 2014, an album devoted to songs from musicals – songs that require just as much attention to text and performance as a song and often the same mastery of vocal technique as operatic arias.

For our New Year's Eve gala, he is joined by David Greilsammer, another classical artist who loves crossovers and who has proven his talents on the keyboard time and time again, but who, for the occasion, will lead his Geneva Camerata in a evening full of great hits and torch songs from the greatest on- and off-Broadway composers and a spectacular farewell to the year 2023.
