“Stevie Wonder once penned the lyric ‘Music is a world within itself; with a language we all understand.’ The universality of music has always inspired me in my educational, professional, and personal life. I have tried to make it my goal to share, teach, and expose the wonders and enjoyment of music to both young and old in every facet of my life. Kantorei aligns perfectly with my personal beliefs in this regard. With a diverse repertoire that literally spans the globe, and with multiple performing, touring, and hosting opportunities, Kantorei accomplishes for these boys what few other organizations can.”
