Equally at home on musical theater and opera stages and in the recording studio, past member of Grammy-winning Chanticleer, Barber has been a soloist for the best venues around the world, from the Metropolitan Opera to Moscow’s Svetlanov Hall. He can be heard on recordings with artists ranging from Madonna, Jewel and Cyndi Lauper to Chaka Khan, Steve Smith and the London Philharmonic.
