Who is Christopher Macchio?. Born and raised in Manhattan, Macchio graduated from Stony Brook University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts. He later classically trained at the Manhattan School of Music Conservatory. In 2011, he began his career starring in a concert special for PBS Television, followed by appearances on Fox, ABC, NBC and RAI International.
Macchio has since expanded his career into acting and studio recording. He’s appeared in two Hollywood movies, Don Q (2023) and Cabrini (2024), and released two albums, Dolci Momenti and Oh Holy Night. He is one of the three New York Tenors, a tenor supergroup that travels around the world performing concerts.
He also regularly performs solo sold-out shows in New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Miami and Los Angeles, according to his website. In 2020, Macchio gave a televised performance from the White House Patio while Trump and the First Family stood watching him from below.
He later reflected on the opportunity calling it “one of the greatest honors” of his life. Who else is performing at the Inauguration?. Country star Carrie Underwood is scheduled to perform “America the Beautiful.” She will be accompanied by The Armed Forces Chorus and The United States Naval Academy Glee Club.
