George grew up in the Bay Area dreaming of being on the world stage, and at an early age was moved by the beauty of the Bel Canto singing style immortalized by the great Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Tito Schipa. Komsky started his vocal training at age 11 after his grandfather Leo, of Walnut Creek, CA took him to study with the local Cantor. Years of vocal training followed along with a trip to Italy in 2001 to perform Verdi’s Requiem in St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome.

An introduction to Professor Emeritus Dewey Camp of San Francisco State University broadened Komsky’s horizons and gave him the necessary training to win the auditions for UCLA’s highly competitive Opera Department in 2003.

In college George worked with David Romano, the celebrated Tenor from Broadway’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA whose tutelage allowed Komsky to become the lead soloist for the internationally acclaimed Irish dancing phenomenon RIVERDANCE in 2004 for its North American Tour.

When he returned from tour, Simon Cowell’s AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was launching and a fortuitous performance by George at a Hollywood showcase caught the eye of one of the show’s producers, who invited him to compete on the show’s inaugural season. The show garnered 12 million viewers that summer and judge David Hasselhoff said of George: “No matter what happens on this show you are going to make it, you’ve got a big career in ahead of you…” George’s rendition of the Pop Opera classic CARUSO led show judge Piers Morgan to add: “You are without a doubt, the finest adult singer in this competition.”

After graduating UCLA in ‘07, Komsky starred in Dublin Worldwide Productions the “Twelve Irish Tenors” and once again toured the US before returning to Los Angeles to further his vocal training. That year, a fateful introduction to one of the greatest living vocal teachers Seth Riggs, changed his life and his understanding of the Italian style of singing. It took only one lesson with Mr. Riggs to distinguish his talent and identify George as a distinct LEGGIERO TENOR, or Light Lyric Tenor as they are called – vocally suitable for Tenor roles written by Rossini, Donizetti, and Mozart.

With an ever-expanding repertoire of PopOpera and classical music, Komsky recently sold out his first three Solo Concerts including San Francisco’s historic Herbst Theatre on Saturday November 19th, 2011. The performance was peppered with arias from the BARBER OF SEVILLE and THE ELIXIR OF LOVE – along with THE PEARL FISHERS and other timeless classics.

In 2012, Komsky will be touring across the United States as he continues to build his fan base. He has also donated his time and talent to various charitable organizations, among them the Wheelchair Foundation, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Ken-Mar Dog Rescue, Police and Fire: The Fallen Heroes, American Legion, Autism Society of America, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation. George’s performances are regularly updated on the TOUR page, so please feel free to visit for all the latest updates.
