Dr. Grant

Enjoyed reading Grant's current bio blurb from the recital I unfortunately missed (not in Colorado at the time)...

Grant Wenaus, born in Regina, Canada, joined the Program in Vocal Performance at the Steinhardt School at New York University in 2001. Since then, he has conducted NYU productions including "The Magic Flute", "L'enfant et les sortilèges", "Dido and Aeneus", "Orpheus in the Underworld", "The Merry Widow", "Ragtime", and most recently, "The Light in the Piazza" in April 2010. He has helped to create the program in Collaborative Piano Studies and several of his students have gone on to careers as Broadway pianists and conductors. Equally comfortable with classical and musical theatre repertoire, his prior appointment was at the University of Michigan as a faculty music director for the Musical Theatre Program for three years ("Of Thee I Sing", "A Little Night Music" and "Anything Goes"). In addition, he was the music director for the Interlochen Arts Camp and MPulse All-State Music Theatre Programs for seven summers.

Dr. Wenaus is on staff as a vocal coach and collaborative pianist for the Florence Voice Seminar, a summer opera program in Italy, alongside Benita Valente and Sally Wolf. During the summer of 2008 he served as a Principal Coach at the Glimmerglass Opera and performed several recitals with its Young American Artist program.

...good going, Bro!
