Baritone Harrison Hintzsche is a concert singer, recitalist, and ensemble musician who has been praised for his warm lyric tone, nuanced musicality, and profound dedication to text. His interpretation of Schubert at London’s Wigmore Hall with pianist Graham Johnson was noted by Opera Today for a “strong sense of narrative” and “gentle poignancy.” Hintzsche won first prize at the 2021 Colorado Bach Ensemble Young Artist Competition and the 2018 Edvard Grieg Society of Minnesota Voice Competition, and was the 2020 recipient of the Margot Fassler Prize in the Performance of Sacred Music from the Yale Institute of Sacred Music.
Recent soloist performance highlights include Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with the Colorado Bach Ensemble, Bach’s Magnificat and St. John Passion with the Oregon Bach Festival, Handel’s Messiah with Ensemble Altera, and Finzi’s In Terra Pax and Vaughn Williams’s Fantasia on Christmas Carols with the Choral Society of the Hamptons. He has recorded various Lieder by Luise Greger on New Muses Project’s inaugural album, as well as the bass arias and role of Pilate on Cantata Collective’s live performance recording of Bach’s St. John Passion, led by Nicholas McGegan.
He holds degrees in music from Yale University and St. Olaf College. He is currently based in Brooklyn, New York, and hails from DeKalb, Illinois.
