Death of Classical was created in 2020 by Andrew Ousley. After he discovered the extraordinary Crypt Chapel underneath the Church of the Intercession in Harlem, he wanted to create a series that would offer a more powerful experience around Classical Music and Opera, and help revive a broader excitement about the art form.
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).
