TOI is proud to present Michael Ching’s thought-provoking and powerful opera, Remove Shoes Before Entering, on June 4. The piece will be semi-staged and performed by all 22 of TOI’s Young Artists, with Ching on the piano. Michael has served as TOI’s Composer-In-Residence for 8 years and has been commissioned by TOI to create a brand new opera to be premiered during their 20th Anniversary Festival Season in 2028.
