Das Lied von der Erde (Song of the Earth)
Tenor Timothy W. Sparks sings with a vigor and beauty highly reminiscent of the esteemed American tenor James King, but with a little more sweetness and lyricism, which is ideal for this more reticent orchestration. His singing is beyond reproach.

Three Triangle Tenors
Timothy Sparks, George Deaton, and Wade Henderson founded Three Triangle Tenors™ in 2009 with collaborative pianist Thomas Warburton. Their popular performances have been presented from the Piedmont to the coast in central and eastern North Carolina. The group has raised funds for worthwhile causes through many of their concerts. Their repertory encompasses folk songs, religious songs and arias, songs and ensembles from Broadway musicals and movie scores, opera arias and ensembles, and Neapolitan songs. The individual performers have been involved in opera, oratorio, recital and teaching not only in the Triangle area, but also elsewhere in the United States and in Europe. In a review of a Three Triangle Tenors fundraising concert in Raleigh NC, Classical Voice North Carolina wrote: “If the audience members were as generous with their purses as they were with their applause, then the [charity] will be in for a wonderful windfall.”
