Also a fan of light opera, Barratt serves on the board of MIT's Gilbert and Sullivan Players, where he has appeared as

Equally at home on the concert stage, Mr. Park is an Emerson Voice Scholar at MIT, where he performs with the MIT Chamber Music Society and has appeared as a soloist with the MIT Chamber Choir. Barratt has also been heard with the Paul Madore Chorale as the baritone soloist for
Carmina Burana. He now studies with Mark St. Laurent.
