Tony Park is a baritone opera singer from Colorado who discovered his love for music at an early age. He began singing and playing piano at his Korean church at the age of seven, where his early experiences with music sparked a lasting passion for vocal performance and musicianship.
As one of only two baritone singers in his school’s Tenor-Bass Choir, Tony continues to develop his vocal technique, musicianship, and artistry through ensemble singing and performance. He has also had the privilege of performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City, an experience that strengthened his desire to continue pursuing music at the highest level.
Tony is especially inspired by legendary singers such as Luciano Pavarotti and Rolando Villazón, whose expressive performances and dedication to the art of singing have influenced his own musical aspirations. Alongside classical repertoire, he enjoys exploring jazz and the distinctive freedom, phrasing, and storytelling it offers.
