Joseph Parrish returns to Baruch PAC following his 2023 debut, with an evening of art songs from the Harlem Renaissance, curated specially for his Baruch appearance.

Baritone Joseph Parrish was a recipient of the 2024 Sullivan Grant, a member of the Salzburger Festspiele Young Singers Project for the 2024 festival season, and a third prize winner in the Opera Index Voice Competition 2024. In addition to his achievements on the competition stage, Joseph is winner of the 2022 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions.

During the 24-25 season, Joseph made his New York City solo recital debut at Kaufman Music Center’s Merkin Hall in a performance co-presented by Washington Performing Arts  with the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir as a follow up to his Kennedy Center debut the previous season with the same program. He joined MasterVoices to sing the role of Earl Mann’s Cellmate/Edward Vernon/Ensemble in Davenport Richards and Cote’s Blind Injustice and Town Hall NYC as James Baldwin in Sneed and Chilton’s The Tongue and the Lash. On the concert stage, Joseph performed as bass soloist in Händel’s Messiah with the Oratorio Society at Carnegie Hall and Richmond Symphony, Christus in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with Musica Sacra, and baritone soloist in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with The Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts.
