M27 recently visited the country of Honduras along with Tristan Cano and Marco Matute. Marco Matute was a guest with The Honduran Philharmonic Orchestra for a celebration of "Broadway Musicals". "I was able to link up with Orchestra Director Jorge Mejia who assembled a group of Central American Soloists :

Marco Matute (Honduras-USA)
Ivick Reconco (Honduras)
Florence Umaña(El Salvador)
Oscar S. Calona (Honduras)
Rene Martínez (El Salvador)
Maya Kikté (Honduras)

bringing us show tunes from "Fiddler on the Roof", "Phantom of the Opera", West Side Story", Les Miserables" and "The Wizard of Oz" along with slapstick impromptu interactions with audience and vocalists." Marco Matute
