Michael Desnoyers, my son, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Slippery Rock University in 2008,
with degrees in performance and music education. He made his debut with the Pittsburgh Opera in 2005, performing the role of The Officer in "Ariadne Auf Naxos" by R. Strauss.
During his undergraduate years, he was a chorus member in a number of Pittsburgh Opera productions, including "Rigoletto" and "Aida." He was a frequent soloist with SRU performing ensembles,
and in 2004, won the University's annual vocal competition. He also performed various roles in University productions, including King Kaspar in "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and Padre in "Man of La Mancha."
Michael and Steph will soon be moving to California, where he will attend graduate school at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. |
