A beacon of light during the height of the pandemic, four singers at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross sought artistic refuge in the Cathedral bell tower where its bells toll each day.
The tower’s most unusual acoustic properties were miraculously friendly to singers forced to wear masks and stand far away from each other. Each week immediately after Mass at the Cathedral, they made a new recording.

"The ever-positive Satyavan, Savriti’s husband played by tenor Michael Gonzalez denies his impending death, proclaiming it as merely illusion (‘maya’). His death scene stunned us both visually and in sonically" - Boston Musical Intelligencer

"The aria New York Lights from William Bolcom’s A View from the Bridge . This was given a poignant rendition, one of the evening’s best, by tenor Michael González, one of the emerging artists. I predict he will go far, as there is always a shortage of good tenors." - New York Concert Review
"In addition, the acting was solid across the board. Michael González's earthly approach to Frederick as a real person just trying to stay afloat in a sea of cartoon characters really worked." - Jaie Deschene
"If a heroic Samson is a no-show in this oratorio, then you have no show. By the time he got to the famous “Total Eclipse” Michael González had carried all doubts away and won our gratitude for powerful, colorful, subtle artistry. Every word counted. He cast long pellucid lines to the back of the house and the sanctuary echoed its gratitude." - Boston Musical Intelligencer
"After a dialogue of recitatives between the two friends, Samson sings his despairing aria to lament his blinding, “Total eclipse!”. Tenor Michael González tugged at the heartstrings here, employing hollow straight tone at “No sun, no moon!” - Boston Musical Intelligencer

"The trio of Gonzalez, Johnson and Smyth have a terrific comedic chemistry together, reminiscent of "The Three Stooges" comedies." - METRMAG
"Hilarion is played by Michael Gonzalez, Rightfully praised as “visually and sonically stunning,” his rich and smooth tenor was the aural equivalent of silk." - The Sudbury Review
"Tenor Michael González lends warmhearted and soaring vocals to depict earnest Prince Hilarion. González, David Smyth as Florian, and Thai Johnson as Cyril form another comic trio as they embark on a wild journey where women rule punctuated by the catchy Gently Gently ." - The Sleepless Critic
" Michael Gonzalez, as Ida’s intended Prince Hilarion, showcased both vocal prowess and physical comedy. His rendition of the lovestruck prince endeared him to us, and his comedic acting had us in stitches. Further, Gonzalez’s chemistry with Thai Johnson as Cyril and David Smyth as Florian added to the overall charm of the show. Whether bantering, harmonizing, or carrying out well-executed comic stage business, this threesome kept the audience engaged and entertained as they infiltrated the women-only academic sanctum of Castle Adamant by cross-dressing in tartan skirts."
