Each member of “Oasis Musical” is a formally trained and accomplished musician in his or her own right; Mario on tenor saxophone, Maria Berenice on cello, guitar, and vocals, and Salome’ on the piano.
Collectively, this ensemble of featured musicians for the concert is being presented as “MGM Troupe.”
The musical selections for the concert reflect a “world music” approach and will represent a wide variety from classical to pop to folk to indie rock and Celtic.
Michael grew up studying and performing the various styles of music of North America and then began experiencing and learning about the music and cultures of the British Isles, Colombia, Spain, and Portugal.
Michael said, “It is important for me to share this rich musical heritage with people of all ages and backgrounds and to show how the common bond of good music, in all its many different forms, can help bring greater understanding between people.”
“My hope and dream is that we will have audience members of all ages and walks of life that will relate to the music and then leave the concert with a song in their hearts and smiles on their faces, having been culturally enriched by a live music experience,” added Michael.
