RNCM Session Orchestra and Choir with Mario Jose at RNCM

Johnny James, Managing Editor
RNCM

RNCM Session Orchestra and Choir with Mario Jose at Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Manchester 2 March 2019 Tickets from £15 — Book now

Heralding from the San Francisco Bay Area, Mario Jose is a seasoned singer-songwriter, powerhouse vocalist and a true entertainer. To the delight of the RNCM students, he will be returning to the college this March to play a show with the RNCM Session Orchestra and Choir.

As a Berklee student, Mario Jose was part of the award-winning a cappella group Pitch Slapped. After graduating, he got a big break on the second season of NBC’s The Sing-Off, followed by a top 40 place on American Idol. On the latter show, he was the favourite contestant of no less than Mariah Carey!

Jose has gone on to share a stage with the likes of Pentatonix, Justin Bieber, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Meghan Trainer, John Legend and many greats besides. After presenting a student masterclass at the RNCM and working with the Pop Choir last year, his return is a highly anticipated one. It also represents the first time that the Session Orchestra have been joined by a guest vocalist.

Supported by Northern Voices, this promises to be an evening filled with fun!

This traditional boozer, surrounded by imposing flats and university buildings, was taken over by Trof (of the Deaf Institute fame). The Sally, as the regulars call it, hosts an energetic, arty crowd – and its recently expanded outside area is another good reason to visit.
