Jutice with Michael Sandel: Increase Your Brain Power

Try taking this course. It consists of very provocative social and ethical concerns....It's taught by Michael Sandel who is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard.

His courses are famous and cover controversial topics like:

THE MORAL SIDE OF MURDER

THE CASE FOR CANNIBALISM

PUTTING A PRICE TAG ON LIFE

HOW TO MEASURE PLEASURE

and more!

Expand your brain....think serious thoughts....have reasonable reasons for your beliefs....DM

Hannah Ford "Sleight of Hand and Foot"

Watch this awesome drummer....the keyboard fellow and bass aren't bad either!

Va pensiero from Nabucco

The Resurrection Choir sings during an Opera Gala fund raiser for the St. Bendict music program. The Choir is composed of members from the Romanian Madrigal Consort, Apollo Choir, St. Benedict's Chorale and the St. Bartholomew Chorus. I'm singing tenor in the midst of several other tenors. Listen carefully.

Dominick Maino Sings Opera!

Well, not quite. I sang with the Resurrection Choir that lent support to artists who have sung at the Chicago Lyric Opera, San Fransisco Opera House and other major opera venues around the world. If you look closely, I am the 4th tenor in from the right. If you listen closely....you just may hear me on the rousing chorus of Toreador!

Solist Paul Radulescu,a wonderful Baritone sings with the choir assisting at St. Benedict's Church in Chicago. Listen carefully and enjoy!
