He regularly sings with the Grammy Nominated group, The Crossing, appears regularly at The Green Mill, Chicago's legendary jazz club, with Alan Gresik and the Swing Shift Orchestra and has performed on five Downbeat Award-winning recordings. Michael studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music for his Bachelors in Jazz Trumpet and Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music for his Masters in Jazz Trumpet.

Friday's concert will also feature a 90 voice 3rd and 4th grade Festival Chorus comprised of students from area public and private schools. Saturday attendees are invited to attend our Barth Dowling Honorary Reception sponsored by Lexus of Peoria following the concert.
