David was the mighty King of Judah who united the nation of Israel; the prophet
whose heart was "like unto the Lord's"; the miraculous singer and
psalmist; the great dreamer; the courageous giant-slayer, the troubled father;
the man flawed by grave sins bringing about 20 years of personal trial. And
yet he was much more: he learned self-reflection, control, chivalry, generosity,
dependence on God, contrition, and endurance to the end.
From whence came his strength? Learn about David's miraculous voice, a voice
which changed history, from the voice of Michael Ballam, acclaimed singer, author,
lecturer, and PhD in Music, assisted by his children, Vanessa and Nicholas.

and opera with the major U.S. opera companies. He has appeared on international
