I first recall him as an undergraduate when he proved be to a super-talented performer mentored by Jennifer Cooper. She was a voice teacher at 91´óÉñ for a short period (far too short, in my view) who also had a wealth of experience as a professional opera singer. Ben showed talent equal to Jennifer’s in productions directed by Jennifer. It’s been wonderful to see his trajectory in the intervening years.
