Bass-baritone Joseph Parrish, is equally adept on the operaic, concert, and recital stage. Praised for his "transfixing bass-baritone voice" - Death of Classical, Parrish is a generational talent whose artistry is endless.

Young composers have been hailed as "the next Mozart" for generations, but how did composers interpret Mozart’s legacy? Join Parlando as it explores Mozart’s impact on classical music, culminating in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Mozart and Salieri, the precursor to the Oscar-winning film Amadeus.
The program includes Reynaldo Hahn’s charming Mozart Overture and Alfred Schnittke’s witty tribute to the 18th century, Moz-Art à la Haydn, before concluding with Rimsky Korsakov’s one-act opera, Mozart and Salieri, featuring Joseph Parrish as Salieri and Daniel McGrew as Mozart.
Mozart’s riveting masterpiece follows Don Giovanni, a man who uses people without a care for their hearts, or the consequences. All the while, the Don’s servant Leporello records his master’s misdeeds. By killing the father of a woman he’s attacked, Giovanni sets in motion events that could lead to his end. Will he get away with his unrepentant pursuit of selfish desire or will there be hell to pay?
Joseph Parrish is blessed with a transfixing bass-baritone voice, and a staggering talent to go along with it. Having already graced DoC audiences with his time-stopping solo part in our massive Fauré Requiem Cemetery performances, he now descends to the Crypt for an intimate, soulful set of art songs and spirituals (accompanying himself at the piano for the latter part).
