“Sonorous” (Opera News) and “Suave” (parterre box) baritone Harrison Hintzsche is a recitalist, concert singer, and ensemble musician. He has been praised for his warm lyric tone, musical subtlety, and dedication to text. In January 2018, Harrison made his international debut at London’s Wigmore Hall in a collaborative art song recital with pianist and scholar Graham Johnson as a part of Johnson's recital series, ""Franz Schubert: The Complete Songs,"" and was noted by Opera Today for displaying a “strong sense of narrative” and “gentle poignancy” in his interpretations of Schubert’s work. He placed first in the Edvard Grieg Society of Minnesota's 2018 Voice Competition, and was the first-ever recipient of the William H. Halverson Award, presented by the Edvard Greig Society of America for an outstanding performance of Grieg’s music. Harrison also has a strong passion for baroque music. He has been a featured soloist for notable Bach scholars like Masaaki Suzuki and Scott Allen Jarret, and has sung with the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart JSB Ensemble under Hans-Christoph Rademann, as well as Bach Ensemble Helmuth Rilling. Harrison holds degrees from Yale University’s School of Music and Institute of Sacred Music, as well as from St. Olaf College. He is a native of DeKalb, Illinois. " |
