Baritone Sean Lynch Visits Reagan

Last week, Sean Lynch visited Reagan High School and performed for Men's Choir and the after school Voice Class. Sean is a UW-Oshkosh alumni and recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a Masters degree in performance. Sean performed a variety of pieces for the students, singing opera and musical theatre. The students thoroughly enjoyed his performance and Sean even volunteered to workshop with one student after the performance. Thank you so much for coming to sing for us, Sean! We loved it and we would love to have you back again soon!
