The 2016 Barihunks Charity Calendar, out now, is designed to promote the art of baritone singing. All proceeds will fund the creation of the Foundation for the Advancement of Baritones (F.A.B.), supporting competition prizes, new commissions for baritones and basses, and similar enterprises.

New York composer Clint Borzoni is already working on two songs for string quartet and baritone, to be premiered by Marco Vassalli in January.

This is Marco Vassalli.

    Don’t think they are going for the female opera fans.

    Attempts to distract from their voices.

    Is this the operatic version of Mens Health?

  • Aslanis says:

    Total gay, but whoever shot this is maybe a gay wannabe (10% anyone on the Kinsey scale?). They have non idea what’s sexy to gay men, or straight women for that matter. All these shots are the same — how uncreative can one get? Where’s the beef; OR the beef behind the underwear? Step-up to the plate, Ms/Mr. Photographer, make it sexy if you want to sell sex, and not voice — it’s a real market I hear…

  • Cynical Observer says:

    Foundation for the Advancement of Baritones (FAB) as distinct from tenors (FAT)?
