He was most excited to sing the Baritone solo for the performance of Faure’s Requiem with the International Workshop chorus and orchestra under the direction of workshop choral clinician Rodney Eichenberger. In 2004, Michael was asked to return to the final International Workshop in Graz, Austria. Again he was a participant in the choral track, assisting Rodney Eichenberger, the workshop clinician and additionally, Michael presented a session..
