More on Michael Ballam
Description from Wikipedia:
Michael Ballam (born 1952) is the general director of the Utah Festival Opera, a professor of music at Utah State University, an accomplished operatic singer, pianist and oboist. His professional operatic and recital career has spanned nearly three decades and four continents. Ballam, a native of Logan, Utah has performed in the major concert halls in America, Europe, Asia and the Soviet Union, with command performances at the Vatican and the White House. His operatic repertoire includes more than 600 performances of over 70 major roles. He has shared the stage with the world's greatest singers, including Joan Sutherland, Kiri Te Kanawa, and Placido Domingo, performing regularly with companies such as the Chicago Lyric, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Dallas, St. Louis, Kennedy Center and San Diego Operas. At the age of 24 he became the youngest recipient of a Doctor of Music with Distinction in the history of prestigious Indiana University. He is well know for his strong support of musical arts in Cache Valley.
Ballam has released CDs of music of him singing with his children.
Ballam is frequently asked to hold lectures nationwide on the creative arts, and more specifically music, and their interaction with the functions of the mind, their use in enhancing education, and as sources of therapy and motivation.
He also lectures on the relationship of music and the doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which he has been a life-long member. The church created a position of musical missionary at large specifically for him. ==References== ==External links==
