Career hits high note

For singers like Auburn native Jason Abrams, there are few grander stages than Carnegie Hall.

Abrams was set to make his debut at the distinguished New York City venue in mid-December, in a production of Georg Friedrich Handel's “Messiah.” But he got sick.

“The singer who took my place got sick too, so I think it's just a cursed role,” Abrams joked in a phone interview.
