david pittsinger

bass-baritone

American bass-baritone David Pittsinger is renowned as a stage performer of the greatest distinction for his dramatic portrayals in the world’s major opera houses. Of his Helen Hayes Award-nominated performance as Emile de Becque in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific at the Kennedy Center, the Washington Times wrote: “His brilliant, knife-clean bass-baritone voice, impeccable enunciation—even with a French accent—and his authoritative, passionate delivery provide the perfect mix of romance, passion, and traditional masculine bravado. And his vocal delivery of ‘Some Enchanted Evening’ as well as the sorrowing ‘This Nearly Was Mine’ registers extraordinarily high on the three-hanky scale. His Emile is perhaps the definitive interpretation of this role in our time.

ARLINGTON SONS

 I commissioned this work for me and my son, Richard, about our family visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery, where my father served as a guard.  Our children were very young then and I wanted them to understand their grandfather's honor to serve   at this special memorial.  Scott Eyerly spent many hours listening to our experience there and composed this work in several different forms... for treble and bass voice with full orchestra, which debuted with Leonard Slatkin leading the Pittsburgh Symphony; for treble and bass with cello and piano, which debuted at Trinity Wall Street during the first anniversary of 9/11; and for young tenor and bass with the Army and Air Force Bands at Arlington Cemetery.
