As a musician whose work has been praised as “superb” (The New York Times), “well-prepared and joyful” (Detroit Free Press), “excellent,” and “fluent and fresh” (Opera News), Noah Horn serves as Music Director of Cantata Singers, a Boston-based choir and orchestra that is “one of the city’s most treasured ensembles.” (The Boston Globe)
Noah is Artistic Director of Audivi, a Detroit-based professional vocal ensemble, which he founded in 2013. Audivi has appeared as a featured ensemble at the ACDA Central, North Central, and Michigan conventions, the AGO New England convention, and gave the Detroit-area historical-performance premieres of Bach’s Mass in B minor and Monteverdi’s Vespers. Audivi also serves as the professional symphony chorus for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. As the DSO chorus master, Noah has prepared numerous choirs for music directors Leonard Slatkin and Jader Bignamini since 2015.
Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, Noah co-founded and performs with Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble, a group that celebrates racial, ethnic, and gender diversity. The ensemble presents “a rich mix of possibilities” (Cleveland Classical), and its performances and educational outreach efforts have been “inspiring” (The Miscellany News), with “fantastic storytelling.” (Yale Daily News)
As a tenor, Noah has sung with professional choirs and orchestras across the world, including four which have won GRAMMY or Gramophone Awards. A Carnegie Hall concert in which he sang one-on-a-part with the Tallis Scholars was “magnificent…simply beautiful.” (The New York Times) Noah was featured on MLB.com when he sang the national anthem at the Detroit Tigers Opening Day ceremony after Aretha Franklin declined the invitation.
