Soprano Maria TegzesSoprano Maria TegzesThe Cathedral Church of St. Paul presents Songs Without Borders, featuring soprano Maria Tegzes accompanied by cathedral music director and pianist Edward Broms playing a program that includes pieces by Kurt Weill, Tom Waits, Thelonius Monk, and Carlos Gardel.

Maria Tegzes' voice has been described as having a "dark and highly emotional...quality" (The Worcester Telegram & Gazette), while being capable of skipping from "ionospheric high hums to a sultry baritone with verve and nerve." (The Boston Globe). She has performed with a variety of new music ensembles including Taller Instrumental of Spain, The New York Arts Ensemble, CUBE of Chicago, and The Princeton Ensemble of Princeton University. About her interpretation of Berg's Lulu, Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe wrote "...you can't take your eyes off her." 

Dubbed a true Renaissance man by The Boston Globe, Broms is also artist-in-residence at Eastern Nazarene College and leads several ensembles, including the Broms Organ Trio, BROMS (rock), Rooster (blues) and Michael's Daughter (Celtic). Formerly, Broms spent seven years in the band of the Grammy-nominated Blue Man Group.
