“We are bringing in the baritone Andrew Garland. He has such fantastic reviews, Everyone talks about how communicative he is as a performer; and how he relates to audiences.” she said.

Andrew Garland, is the winner of national and international competitions, has been saluted by The New York Times as having a “distinctly American presence” with a “big voice” who is “an able and comfortable performer, and a sincere one.” Garland is best known for his highly communicative style of singing. He brings to each genre a powerful voice and extremely sensitive delivery.

Composer Lee Hoiby commented: “… none has brought more depth of musical understanding than did Andrew Garland. Quite apart from the special beauty of his voice is his distinctive feeling for the musical line.
