Anthony Dean Griffey
Friday, Apr 30, 2010: Anthony Dean Griffey
During April, Voices & Viewpoints celebrates eight years of profiling Piedmont residents who are making a national and international impact.
Anthony Dean Griffey was born and raised in High Point and now he performs with some of the most prestigious opera companies in the world in major venues. He performs concerts, solos and opera--especially American Operas. And between his world travels, he returns home to High Point.
Anthony studied at Julliard and with the Metropolitan Opera's Young Artist Program and his career spans 15 years. He's 6'4" and describes himself as a 'shy large man'. He says singing enables him to express things he's not comfortable saying.
Anthony says he specializes in portraying characters who are struggling with loneliness, grief and who desire to be wanted and love. Next month, he'll perform an original composition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. His website is anthonydeangriffey.com.
Our commentator Diana Greene has contributed engaging stories to Voices & Viewpoints for eight years. This week she shares the source of her creativity.
And our literary critic Dudley Shearburn traces her life through books.
