Michael Ferreri
Pianist/singer Michael Ferreri is a musician and entertainer
of exceptional talent whose outstanding musicality and
seemingly endless repertoire have made him a consistently
popular and working performer in cabarets, clubs and concert
dates. His talents have also garnered him a devoted fan base
in New York,
in London, and
across the United States.
His debut CD, Michael Ferreri:
Sweet Dreams is an ethereal collection of songs that tell a
story--songs perfectly suited to Michael's intimate phrasing
and musicianship. The CD contains 12 cuts showcasing his
engaging and highly personal style of performing, including
"Move On," by Stephen Sondheim; "Sweet Dreams" and "A Dream"
by John Bucchino; and "Lullabye" by Billy Joel.
Michael has appeared in concert
and in galas with such celebrated performers as Michael
Feinstein, Andrea McArdle, Beth Fowler and Greg Edelman.
Other concerts include a "Tribute to Sondheim" at Primary
Stages and a benefit concert version of "Into the Woods"
chaired by Stephen Sondheim. He has performed in the
Musicals Unlimited revival of Pipe Dream and the acclaimed
Lincoln
Center production of The Happy End,
produced by the Kurt Weill Foundation. Michael has also been
given the unique honor of performing at an intimate
New York
reception for HRH Prince Philip of
England.
His solo cabaret engagements
have been enthusiastically received, including a sold-out
cabaret show with Meg Flather at one of
New York's cabaret epicenters, Don't
Tell Mama. His engaging playing and ability to establish
immediate rapport with his audience have made him one of the
most popular musicians at such New York landmarks as One if
by Land, Two if by Sea and Tavern on the Green and at the
clubs Eighty-Eights and The Townhouse.
A New
York
resident since 1986, Michael is originally from the suburbs
of Philadelphia
and attended the University of the Arts in
Philadelphia.
