William Guiracoche filmed by an audience member, singing an original song for his mother on Mothers Day at 92Y with the acclaimed jazz singer, pianist and 92Y instructor Deadra Hart
92Y School of Music just keeps turning out one star after another! Recently we wrote about students Deborah Karpel and Ashley LaLonde. And this week, while reading the Daily News (after his very proud mother alerted us!) we discovered that 14 year old William Guiracoche is performing the lead male role in Thoroughly Modern Millie this Thursday at the Manhattan School of Music as part of their summer music camp. “Here, we speak the language of music,” William told the paper, “and we are around people you can relate to.”
William Guiracoche has been taking private voice lessons with Deadra Hart at the 92nd Street Y School of Music since the Fall of 2006, and was a Recanati-Kaplan merit scholar in 2007-2009. His endearing performances of his own compositions as well as popular Broadway songs have brought some 92Y audience members to tears.
