Destiny gave Pasquale Esposito a life-long singing career. Destiny also brought him to America from his native Italy where his career has thrived in California and as a regular contributor to the PBS entertainment lineup. Esposito will share his vocal talents in Big Bear Oct. 19 at the Big Bear Lake Performing Arts Center. The concert is a benefit for the Bear Valley Community Healthcare Foundation.

“I give the green light to my manager every time I’m asked to do a benefit,” Esposito says. “I believe in giving back to the community. I am who I am because of this country. It’s a joy for me to be a part of the program.” Esposito grew up in Naples, Italy, the home of legendary tenor Enrico Caruso. The young Esposito began his vocal career in the church choir. He became a professional singer at the tender age of 10.
