Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts continues their Concert Artist Series with "A St. Patrick's Day Tribute to Count John McCormack" on Monday, March 17, 2025 inside the Squires Recital Salon on the campus of Virginia Tech.

Tenor Brian Thorsett and pianist Richard Masters present "Ireland, Mother Ireland," a St. Patrick's Day tribute to Count John McCormack.

Hailed as “a strikingly gifted tenor, with a deeply moving, unblemished voice” (sfmusicjournal.com), tenor Brian Thorsett excels in opera, oratorio and recital across the world. Since taking to the stage, he has been seen and heard in over 100 diverse operatic roles, ranging from Monteverdi to Britten, back to Rameau and ahead again to works composed specifically for his talents. As a concert singer, he fosters a stylistically diversified repertoire of over 250 works, which has taken him to concert halls across the US and Europe. He is currently Associate Professor of Voice at Virginia Tech’s School of Performing Arts and served on the faculties as Lecturer at UC Berkeley and Santa Clara University.

Richard Masters is a soloist, opera coach, chamber musician, orchestral pianist, and an associate professor of piano and collaborative piano on the music faculty in the School of Performing Arts.
