John Ogrodowczyk is known for his unique way of moving the hearts of his listeners. He has performed throughout New England, delighting his audiences in concerts, operas, musical shows, charity benefits, anniversaries, church celebrations, and holiday concerts throughout New Hampshire, including his annual soloist appearances in Messiah in December.

John’s most recent theater performance was in the role of “Father” in the musical Children of  Eden.  John has also appeared at home in the Nashua Actorsingers musical “Titanic,” the Nashua Arts and Humanities Coalition presentation “A Taste of the Arts,” and in the Granite State Opera production of the children’s opera, “The Little Sweep.”  
 

Classical solo performances include works from Handel, Brahm’s, Schubert, Britten, Menotti (including Amahl and the Night Visitors), to name a few, as well as Gilbert and Sullivan (under the direction of the internationally renowned Gilbert and Sullivan comic artist, John Reed from the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company). One special honor was performing a principal role in a musical drama with the late Metropolitan Opera tenor, Jan Peerce. John has sung at Opera Circle in Nashua, NH and with the Granite State Opera Company in The Devil and Daniel Webster, under the direction of Phil Lauriat.

Internationally, John has also sung in Europe, including Austria and Switzerland, and several times in Ireland, where he deepened his love for Irish songs.  John has sung in Ireland at concert festivals in Dublin, County Cavan, Galway, and Limerick. John sang at the memorial banquet for the late Irish tenor, Frank Patterson, in his home town of Clonmel, Tipperary.  

Inspired by this love for Irish ballads, John produced his first recorded album, called, “Ireland In My Heart.”  His second album, called “Faith and Beyond” was made to give listeners a sense of his faith journey in the songs that were part of his life growing up until the present.

One of John’s greatest privileges was singing for a capacity house for the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston on, not one, but two occasions. This was on Father’s Day and New Hampshire Day at Fenway, July 2007. And again in June of 2011.  

John also sang, together with Miss New Hampshire, to support the “Fight To Educate” Benefit Program at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.

In addition, John has sung with many symphony orchestras and opera companies, including the Nashua Symphony, Southwest Florida Symphony, Harlow Chorus of England, Arlington Metropolitan Chorus of Virginia, the Thomasville Pops Orchestra in Georgia, the Heartland Pops in Missouri, the Merrimack Lyric Opera company, and the Granite State Opera.

Currently, John is producing and singing at benefit shows for the “Nancy O Fund”, a non-profit fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. The Fund was created in memory of his daughter and gives grants to non-profit organizations supporting children’s performing arts. 

John longest lasting benefit show for the Nancy O Fund is his annual Irish Review dinner show called “A Little Bit of Ireland,” which has been going on for more than 13 years straight.
