Singin’ on the Green

David Pittsinger to perform Broadway favorites in Trinity Church concert

Trinity Church on the Green likes to reach a little higher, if you will, for musical talent. Its Music4Music Concert Series continues Saturday at 7 p.m. with a family concert led by a former Trinity choir member who has sung on Broadway and at the Metropolitan Opera.

David Pittsinger, a native of Clinton who has a master’s degree from Yale and has been seen in many Connecticut productions (including “The Fantasticks” at Ivoryton Playhouse), will headline the evening of Broadway favorites and show tunes with his vocalist wife Patricia Schuman, their children Richard and Maria and pianist Eric Trudel. Also taking part will be well-known Trinity music director R. Walden Moore and the Trinity Choir of Men and Boys.

Pittsinger earned raves as Emile de Becque in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “South Pacific” at the Kennedy Center in 2010. Coming up in October, Pittsinger will perform with Carly Callahan in “Ivoryton Playhouse Presents: Some Enchanted Evening” at the town hall theater in Clinton.

The concert will take place in Trinity Church’s 200-year-old Gothic sanctuary on the New Haven Green (230 Temple St., corner of Chapel Street) in downtown New Haven. The choir was founded in 1885, so there’s no small amount of tradition there.

Tickets for “David Pittsinger: Family Voices” are $40 ($35 online; $20 students and seniors; front-row seats $100). Call 203-776-2616 or visit https://bit.ly/2NsOCOL to learn more and order tickets.
