David Sabella, an internationally renowned countertenor and winner of the 1995 Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition, has mesmerized audiences on opera stages across the globe.

In addition to his distinguished performance career, he is a highly respected music teacher, vocal coach, and author of So You Want to Sing Cabaret. With a repertoire featuring works by Caccini, Handel, Gluck, Jerome Kern, Mahler, and more, Sabella delivers a performance that’s pure ear candy, delighting the senses with every note.
David Maiocco, an internationally trained actor, singer, and celebrated Liberace tribute artist, brings a delightful mix of humor and virtuosity to the stage. A classically trained pianist from the Boston and New England Conservatories of Music, Maiocco delivers a comic yet brilliant take on history’s greatest composers. His performances range from the serious to the playful, covering everything from Beethoven to Chopin, Liszt to Liberace, and beyond.
