Michael Cavanaugh joins the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, in partnership with Opening Nights at FSU, to present the timeless music of Billy Joel!

Michael Cavanaugh is the new voice of the American Rock & Roll Songbook and a charismatic performer and musician made famous for his piano/lead vocals in the Broadway musical “Movin’ Out”. Handpicked by Billy Joel to star in “Movin’ Out”, Cavanaugh evokes a style rivaling the Piano Man. He appeared in the show for three years with over 1,200 performances and received multiple accolades. The show culminated in 2003 with both Grammy and Tony Award nominations. It wasn’t long before symphony orchestras discovered Cavanaugh’s talents and audience appeal. He accepted his first orchestral booking, “Michael Cavanaugh – The Songs of Billy Joel and More,” which debuted in April 2008 with the Indianapolis Symphony and continues to tour today. Recently, Cavanaugh reached the POLLSTAR Live75, the top 75 active touring acts in the country.
