Will Wells is one of my overall favorite entertainers I have had the opportunity to hear over the years. He is very interested in putting on a great show for the musicians he is performing with and his audience. He has great stage presence and tunes that are interesting and catchy.
It’s unusual to be shivering in Miami, but the locals keep telling us this February has been an unusually cool month. Orchestra members spent most of their day indoors, including trumpet player Andrew Koskela and professor Bernardo Hernandez, rehearsing for three hours at the Gusman, then retreating to a dressing area upstairs to wait for show time. A stack of Little Caesar’s pizzas was delivered, and, later, Krispy Kreme donuts.
Between rehearsal and showtime, the singers sat in a hallway under, well, Floridian orange light for a quick take of Arroyo’s “A Mi Dios Todo Le Debo.” From left in the video: Luis Figueroa, Michelle Walter, Romulo Lander, Jose R. Mellado, and Leonardo Tatis.
