The Philadelphia region is rich with music schools training the next generation of artists. South-African bass-baritone Musa Ngqungwana, a 2014 graduate of the Academy of Vocal Arts, and a 2013 winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, stands out and already has a busy international performance schedule.
Listen to Musa this Saturday, August 6th at 1 pm on WRTI! He's singing the role of Queequeg in Jake Heggie's opera, MOBY-DICK, a production of LA Opera.
WRTI’s Susan Lewis speaks with Musa about his career thus far, and the road ahead.
