Last time Dashon Burton performed with MISH was in 2012 when he was a soloist in our very first performance of Messiah.  As a permanent memorial of that epic performance, he left behind the YouTube recording of “The trumpet shall sound” – still MISH’s most-viewed video.  He returns to the Somerset Hills on Saturday, January 4 as a front-rank international singer.  His distinctive bass-baritone voice, described by the Wall Street Journal as an “enormous, thrilling voice seemingly capable …… raising the dead”, is in demand in opera houses and concert halls everywhere.  His recordings include Songs of Struggle and Redemption: We Shall Overcome, described by the New York Times as “profoundly moving ….. a beautiful and loveable disc”.  He returns to MISH immediately following his Christmas performances of Messiah with the New York Philharmonic.
