November 3, 2009 The new album is on iTunes! Click here for the iTunes link. September 7, 2009 Spoke too soon. The second album is done. But it will be awhile before it gets to iTunes or gets duplicated. See the song samples at: www.ToWhereYouAre.net September 3, 2009 Marius almost finished his second album this summer, over 2 1/2 years since we started it. Just one more song to finish, but when? See the song samples at: www.ToWhereYouAre.net March 8, 2009 Marius sings "Open Arms" at a wedding. This is an aria-like version sung mostly in Italian. Click here to see the YouTube video. January 9, 2009 Well, we're still here. Unfortunately, Marius has been singing at too many memorials. August 4, 2008 Marius is finally back recording this summer after being away from it for over a year and a half. Hopefully we can finish his mini-album before school starts up again. August 20, 2007 It seems that Welsh salesman Paul Potts' singing of the aria "Nessun Dorma" while winning "Britain's Got Talent" has had a residual effect on Marius' version as indicated by a sudden rise in sales of the tune in the digital arena. Our thanks to Paul Potts. April 23, 2007 Finally, all 14 tracks on the album have been accounted for in the world of digital sales. Mostly on iTunes, Rhapsody and Napster. On iTunes, the tracks have sold in six different countries -- USA, Canada, Europe, UK, Australia, Japan. January 15, 2007 We're putting together a mini-album called "To Where You Are" featuring pop songs with an operatic twist. Marius was able to record a number of them over the Christmas break. Visit www.ToWhereYouAre.net to hear the samples. December 14, 2006 Added two more YouTube.com videos from Marius's Dec 10 guest singer gig. See the next box below. October 25, 2006 Found a couple of videos from a few years ago and put them up on YouTube.com. Scroll down to the next box to see the links. September 19, 2006 The album is finally on iTunes! Click here for the iTunes link. September 6, 2006 Well, summer is over and Marius did not get the big gigs we were expecting. Just several guest solos, all well received. So Marius did a lot of yard work. But now it's back to school. April 26, 2006 For more on the "Aida" story, Click here to read the 03/26 Press Release (photo of the chorus added 04/26).
