| David Diston |
We've been meaning to post about Canadian David Diston for at least a year, but his bio for his upcoming bio for the 24-baritone
Winterreise-fest was the best motivation to get this done. Regular readers may recall barihunk Zachary Luchetti's hysterical and epic biography that we
posted about in 2015 and Diston's is shorter, but every bit as clever.
"David Diston’s rapidly developing artistry is quickly gaining him
recognition as a ‘sonorous baritone’ (Huffpost Alberta) with ‘full-throated
and characterful singing’ (Calgary Herald). Also hailed as 'the best
baritone ever' (Dave's Mom), Mr. Diston recently performed a most
dramatic rendition of Don Giovanni, in his shower. Critically acclaimed
for his coffee consumption abilities, David becomes a bigger fan of
coloratura with each additional cup. Don't miss David in his upcoming
appearances as 'King of the Night' in his living room, and 'passenger'
on the 11:43pm Lakeshore West from Union."
You can hear (and see) Diston live in the Tongue In Cheek Productions performance of twenty-four basses and baritones singing Schubert's
Winterreise on Wednesday, September 5, 8pm at Lula Lounge in Toronto. Some of the singers include Jason Howard, Doug MacNaughton, Dion Mazerolle, Alexander Hajek, Cairan Ryan, Aaron Durand, Michael Nyby and Olivier Laquerre. Tickets are available
online.
Love this!
