✨ We’re excited to welcome baritone Jorell Williams to this year’s NYFOS Gala! ✨

Hailed for his “rich-toned” voice and commanding stage presence, Jorell is one of today’s most versatile vocal artists—equally at home in opera, concert, and contemporary repertoire. Praised by The Washington Post as a “rock-solid singer,” he brings a rare blend of vocal power, emotional depth, and storytelling to every performance.

A frequent presence on major stages, highlights of his recent season include performances with leading opera companies across North America and Europe, as well as upcoming recordings including My Brother’s Keeper with New York Festival of Song Records.

Beyond the stage, Jorell is also an accomplished composer and collaborator, creating and arranging works for organizations including NYFOS and the Brooklyn Art Song Society—continuing to redefine what it means to be a modern classical artist.

Join us for “Easy to Love: NYFOS Does Cole Porter”—a dazzling evening of cocktails, dinner, and unforgettable performances celebrating the music of Cole Porter.
