From early childhood guitar lessons to joining the Zürich Boys Choir at age eight and performing with them for thirteen years, he discusses his path toward a career in classical music and opera. He highlights five poignant selections from Schubert’s cycle. Mr. Gray entered the Curtis Institute of Music in 2019 and currently studies voice with Mark Schnaible as the Jill and Sheldon Bonovitz Fellow.
