Phan is a lyric tenor who has performed internationally with orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Philharmonic Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and others. Phan studied voice at the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance and at the Manhattan School of Music. The Boston Globe calls him “one of the world’s most remarkable singers.”
