William Borovina

Piano and voice instruction

Raised in Stuart, Florida, and a graduate of Martin County High School, William began his musical studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa, receiving a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance. While in Tampa, he became well known throughout the area for his recital and oratorio work, including Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Dubois’s The Seven Last Words of Christ, Bach’s Magnificat, and Schubert’s Mass in G Major. During this time, William became associated with the entertainment department at Busch Gardens as a lead singer and vocal trainer for the park’s shows. He then attended the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, performing as baritone soloist in Fauré’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah, and Bach’s Cantata No. 78. He also appeared in operas including Lully’s Armide, Handel’s Susanna, and the United States premiere of Tojin Okichi, sung in Japanese. From December 1993 through April 1994, he appeared throughout South Florida as a soloist with the Winged Victory Singers and the Broward Symphonic Pops Orchestra.

William began his teaching career in Tampa with his own private voice studio and as a church choir director. He continued teaching privately while living in New York City. From fall 1994 through spring 2000, William was Instructor of Voice at Alcorn State University. His duties included private vocal instruction, conducting the Alcorn State University Concert Choir, and teaching vocal diction, vocal literature, and choral conducting. Dozens of solo recitals throughout Mississippi and Louisiana kept him busy along with his teaching duties. He is delighted to bring his musical abilities home after a 19-year absence.
