Ivan Griffin is a Vocal Music Faculty at Loyola University New Orleans. He possess expertise in musical theatre, vocal, music education, music, singing and 35 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "To Whom It May Concern: It is with great enthusiasm that I supply this letter of recommendation for Ivan Griffin. I have had the pleasure on numerous occasions to feature Mr. Griffin on the campus of Mott Community College as a soloist as well within an ensemble group. His talent is extraordinary and his voice magnificent. While he is a talent in his own right, I sometimes describe him as a modern day "Paul Robeson." The Greater Flint and Genesee County area has fully embraced Mr. Griffin and is so very proud that he shared his knowledge and expertise with us for such a long time. He has relocated from this area but has left an indelible mark in our community. Sincerely, Lennetta Bradley Coney, President Foundation for Mott Community College", "Ivan Griffin premiered my oratorio "Requiem for the Innocent" with the South Bend Symphony on October 2, 2010. To add to his outstanding talent as a baritone and a musician - I could not have thought of another person better suited for my composition - he is a person of incredible warmth and generosity. I still remember the rehearsals we had together, including one just with me at the piano - what a pleasure to be around such fine musician and enthusiastic human being! The premiere of the work would not have achieved its success without the passion and energy that Ivan brought to it. I very much hope I can work with him again in future composition projects.

Muñiz, D.M.A. Associate Professor of Music, Composition and Theory Indiana University South Bend jormuniz@iusb.edu", and "Ivan has been hired as a singer/actor in several operas I've directed. He has proven to be not only an extremely talented opera singer but also a more than competent actor. He works very well in a creative team, was always on time and prepared for rehearsal and performance and provided student performers with a standard for which to strive. Were I still directing opera at the same venue, I would not hesitate to hire him again. He gives superlative work!"
