Lauded for “a voice of seductive beauty” (Miami Herald) and as an “unfailingly versatile” performer (Boston Globe), baritone David McFerrin has won critical acclaim in opera, concert, recital, small ensemble, and crossover repertoire. He is a mainstay of the Boston classical vocal scene and has performed on many other leading stages in the US and Europe.
David’s recent performances have included debuts as Jesus in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and as cantata soloist in the Thomaskirche, Leipzig with Emmanuel Music; the roles of Masetto in Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Thoas in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride with Boston Baroque; the complete trilogy of Britten’s church parable operas with Enigma Chamber Opera; and concerts at the preeminent renaissance vocal festival Laus Polyphoniae in Antwerp, Belgium with Gramophone award-winning ensemble Blue Heron.
Highlighting the 2024-25 season, David sings the title role in Britten’s Noah’s Flood with Boston Lyric Opera in Symphony Hall. He performs various Bach cantata programs with American Bach Soloists in the Bay Area, Emmanuel Music in Boston, and Music Worcester. David is also a soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Handel and Haydn Society at Rockport Music, and he sings in Boston and New York City with Blue Heron.
