Singer Morgan Crowley: "Christmas on Broadway"
January 29, 2010Morgan Crowley comes from an Irish-American family of artists. A graduate of the Dublin College of Music, he's at home both on the opera stage and in musicals. In December 2009 he was a welcome guest of Deutsche Welle in its concert series in Bonn for the second time, appearing again with Alexander Bermange, his friend and collaborator. Bermange is a promising young musical composer, and in combination with Crowley, more than just a piano accompanist.
