Dana Whiteside enjoys a life in music that encompasses performance as a soloist in concert/oratorio, recital and work with professional vocal ensembles. Educated at College of the Holy Cross, the Longy School of Music, New England Conservatory and the Tanglewood Music Center, Dana has received critical acclaim for his voice of “noble clarity throughout powerful and resonant” (The Washington Post). He is grateful for his affiliation with Handel & Haydn Society Emmanuel Music the Cantata Singers, Boston Baroque and Skylark Vocal Ensemble on whose recordings “Winters Night”, "La Vie en Rose", “Seven Words from the Cross” and "Sauntering Songs" he appears as a featured soloist. Art song recital performances have included offerings at the Societe Francaise (Boston French Library), Boston University, University of Oregon and with Florestan Recital Project. Among recent season highlights were Haydn's "The Seasons" with Portland Bach Experience", “The Magic Flute” with Boston Baroque; the role of Count Carl Magnus in Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music”; “Carmina Burana” at Mechanics Hall; the Verdi Requiem; and a “Sea Symphony” at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Dana belongs to Beyond Artists, a coalition of artists that donates a percentage of their contract fees to organizations they care about.
