Tenor Daniel Coy Babcock continues to enjoy a career as soloist, chorister and vocal instructor in the greater Los Angeles region and beyond. The Orange County Register has written that Mr. Babcock “…sang with projective ease and unadorned phrasing: a heartfelt and unostentatious performance.” Mr. Babcock sang the roles of Rinuccio in Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and Tom Rakewell in Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress with Opera UCLA. He was a featured soloist in Bach’s St. John Passion in both the finale concert of the Los Angeles Bach Festival and in Pacific Chorale’s performance of the same masterwork in collaboration with Musica Angelica. Mr. Babcock sang the tenor solos in Stravinsky’s Les Noces at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as part of a touring production by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal. He can be heard as the tenor soloist in Pacific Chorale’s recording of Rachmaninoff’s Vespers.

Mr. Babcock served for seven seasons as tenor section leader of Pacific Chorale and is an active member of the ensemble. He has sung with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, the Clarion Singers, LA Schola and Bach Collegium San Diego. He has appeared as a member of the Los Angeles Opera Chorus in thirty-six mainstage productions and is a staff singer in the Choir of St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral. Mr. Babcock spent eleven years as a member of the Classical Voice Conservatory faculty at Orange County School of the Arts and plans to teach at the collegiate level after the completion of his doctoral studies in voice. He earned a Master of Music degree in voice performance from UCLA and a Bachelor of Arts degree in musical theatre from the University of Redlands. Mr. Babcock is currently studying with Professor Michael E. Dean in the Doctor of Musical Arts program at UCLA.
