Upcoming Projects

Tunde performing with Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra 2023

I’m excited to share that I will be singing the baritone solos in the Fauré Requiem with the Mainly Mozart Orchestra on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 7:30 PM at the UCSD Amphitheatre. This performance will feature the San Diego Master Chorale and soprano Erica Petrocelli.

Also, I'll be performing at the Bard Festival on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at 3:00 PM. I’ll be playing Le dernier sorcier in "Le dernier sorcier," an opera by Pauline Viardot, a significant female composer who was a prominent figure in 19th-century music and a pioneer for women in the field.

I will be joined by an outstanding cast of performers:

Laquita Mitchell, Monica Yunus, and Camille Zamora (sopranos)
Rebecca Ringle Kamarei and Adriana Zabala (mezzo-sopranos)
Noah Stewart (tenor)
Anna Polonsky and Lucy Tucker Yates (pianists)

Personal Reflection

I wanted to take a moment to share a personal note with you all. This week, I'm attending my college choir director's retirement party. Bruce Rogers was one of my biggest musical teachers and influences, and it’s an honor to celebrate his incredible career.

Last year was a whirlwind of travel, but fortunately, I’ve had more time to stay home this year. I've been working diligently on the album, progressing with my MBA, and enjoying quality time with my wife and siblings.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming shows and sharing more exciting news soon.
