A Baltimore Village Helped Get this Singer to the Metropolitan Opera
On July 27, 2013, Morgan State University alum Daniel Rich posted this on Facebook: “I just want to sing for the rest of my life!!!” His protective circle extends beyond his neighbors to include educators from his first grade teacher Tracey Chester at Liberty Elementary and his high school choir director Linda Hall at City College to his professors at Morgan State University, from which he graduated in 2017. Rich considers Vincent Stringer, the former director of vocal studies and the opera program at Morgan, to be his “musical dad” and his successor, Marquita Lister, to be his “musical mom.”
