EJ Cardona! Man, Myth, VOCTAVE TENOR LEGEND! His range is JUST PHENOMENAL!!!!
@gegiocavacci25893 жыл бұрын
That man's name is EJ Cardona, one of the greatest tenor I've ever heard. Another stellar arrangement of theirs is Come Thou Fount of every blessing, no one has reacted to it yet and very few people know it exists though I remember Jamey Ray saying is one of his favourite arrangement. Plus, Ej and Kate trade some high arpeggios in it and I love that. Also their version of You Have More Friends Than You Know (Glee) is really good, just a couple of different members back then when they recorded

E.J.Cardona began at Walt Disney World as a cast member on the Great Movie Ride in Hollywood Studio at WDW. He then auditioned for Voices of Liberty who sing at the American Pavillion in EPCOT. Most of the Voctave members are past or present members of Voices of Liberty. The man in the middle of the back row is Jamey Ray who founded Voctave and arranges all of their music. Merry Christmas!!

Stellar arrangement (Jamey Ray in the middle at the back is the resident genius in this department), outstanding singing from the whole group, and truly exceptional lead by E. J. Cardona. A great choice for Christmas Eve, definitely an unforgettable rendition of this great carol. "All is well" is another beauty, as well as one already suggested "This is my wish / let there be peace" (ideal for the New Year perhaps?). Appreciate the genuine reaction.

So Tiffany and Kate are the two sopranos. Tiffany was the one on the 2nd row on this video and Kate was in the 1st row, so you're correct on the names. You've also guessed one of the basses correctly, the other being the man in the middle on the far right (I don't actually know the names of the basses, sadly!). As for their soloist in this, his name is EJ Cardona and he may just be my favorite tenor singer I have ever heard.

Hi Dennis. That gentleman's name is E.J. Cardona and he has a great voice as well. Extra bit of fun information if you would like it; he is related to the gentleman who featured in the Voiceplay Superstition cover, his name is Omar Cardona. I wanted to double check what I wrote down. All true according to Google. I hoped this helped. Much love from Australia and may you have good Christmas season blessings as well.

That tenor is EJ Cardona and he began his career as a cast member on The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studio in WDW. Then he moved to the Voices of Liberty who sing in the American Pavillion in EPCOT, also at WDW. Voctave has taken many of it's members from Voices of Liberty. The high first soprano is Kate Lott. She is the blonde lady second from the right, first row.
