In the summer of 2019 Mr. Brevik made his London debut singing in Silver Jubilee: a one month concert tour where all proceeds were donated to the Mathieson Music School in Kolkata, India.

Brevik performed at the Opera Theatre of St. Louis from 2013-2015, starting as a Gerdine Young Artist, earning himself the Richard Gaddes Career Grant. At OTSL, Brevik performed both lead and supporting roles. It was here that he was hand-picked by Ricky Ian Gordon to create the role of Ernest Hemingway and record an album with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra in the opera Twenty-Seven. The role landed him on the cover of the highly acclaimed magazine: Opera News alongside Met Opera superstar Stephanie Blythe. In 2015, Brevik performed the role of Pastor Avery in Tobias Picker’s Emmeline where Opera Today celebrated Brevik’s “well served, ample bass.”

 

During the off-season, OTSL structured a series of outreach events where Brevik performed for inner-city children around the St. Louis and Ferguson MO area. Daniel got to work one-on-one with children in The Very Last Green Thing: an opera about protecting the planet. He captivated the youth at juvenile detention centers where he unexpectedly performed a wide array of styles from opera arias, musical theatre numbers, jazz standards to R&B classics. Brevik developed a love for educational outreach and decided to pioneer a two-month concert tour to Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, performing for the impoverished children and elderly in countries such as Moldova, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

 

In 2011, upon winning first place at the Boston NATS song and aria competition, Brevik was the selected recipient of the Wendy Shattuck Presidential Scholarship to attend New England Conservatory free of charge. While there, Brevik performed The Songs of Travel by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Taken under the wing of Stephen Lord (listed among the top “25 Most Powerful Names in U.S. Opera” by Opera News) Brevik earned his Masters of Music from NEC and performed the role of Hel Helson in Benjamin Britten's Paul Bunyan, and Don Pedro de Hinoyosa in Offenbach’s La Perichole. He received his B.A. in Music from Plymouth State University.
