This past holiday season, audiences were treated to a truly unforgettable musical experience when Antonio, a talented young member of the All American Boys Chorus, shared the stage with none other than Broadway legend Sarah Brightman.
The 2025 holiday concert was a dazzling blend of warmth, wonder, and world-class talent. Featuring a selection of heartwarming seasonal favorites and some of Brightman’s most beloved songs, the evening was a celebration of music’s power to uplift and inspire.
A highlight of the night was the duet between Antonio and Brightman as they performed a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Walking in the Air, originally written for the 1982 animated classic The Snowman. Their voices blended in perfect harmony, capturing the magic of the moment and leaving the audience spellbound. Antonio’s poise and vocal talent were on full display, earning a standing ovation and touching the hearts of everyone in the room.
Sarah Brightman, known across the globe for her pioneering work in classical crossover and musical theatre, has a storied career that includes originating the role of Christine Daaé in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera. The original London cast recording of Phantom, released on CD in 1987, has sold an astounding 40 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling cast album of all time.
For Antonio, performing alongside such a musical icon was not only a dream come true—it was a moment that will surely inspire the next chapter of his musical journey. For the audience, it was a once-in-a-lifetime gift of song and spirit, perfectly wrapped for the holiday season.
