Michael Ciufo’s young career has explored performances across the globe, including an unforgettable performance at the age of 17 at the Pantheon in Rome, Italy.  His sophomore album release of Momento, debuted at #15 on the Canadian Classical charts.  
Michael maintains a busy performance schedule and has just returned from a special performance for the re-launch of the newly renovated Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. 

Previous to that, Michael spent much of the winter and spring touring the southern United States and performing to sold-our audiences with pop-opera vocal group, Vivace [vee-vah-chay]

A native resident of Mississauga, Michael is a graduate of the prestigious Glenn Gould School of Music at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto and has worked with Arthur Post and the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra, Kerry Stratton and the Toronto Concert Orchestra, and the North Bay Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thomas Jones, to name a few.  

His most recent operatic performances include the role of “Alfredo” in La Traviata in celebration of Giuseppe Verdi’s 200th birthday in Fidenza, Italy and “Gernando” in the Canadian Premier of Rossini’s opera Armida with Opera in Concert in Toronto.
Michael is humbled by opportunities to give back to his community.  He continues to donate his time and talents to a number of causes, and sits on   adjudication panels and special arts initiative committees throughout Mississauga.
