About Pascal

Based in Portland, OR, Pascal is a baritone classically trained in the Melocchi method. Although he has a knack for buffo characters, such as Rudolph in Hello, Dolly! (2022) and Papageno in Die Zauberflöte (2023), he dipped a toe into the more dramatic waters with Carmen’s Escamillo (2023) and is currently studying Verdi and verismo roles.

Before he started singing, Pascal also studied jazz and classical trombone from the age of nine, later focusing on jazz. As a trombonist, Pascal has a warm, rich tone and aims for melodic and expressive playing. He has also dabbled in jazz composition, which you can listen to on his Soundcloud.

To listen to Pascal, you can follow him on YouTube and Facebook. He also has an Instagram, where he posts sporadically. To find out where you can see him live, check here as well as on his social media. For inquiries, please contact Pascal here.
