San Francisco Bach Choir – Vocal Tune-up Series
Clear the dust out of those vocal cords and get ready to sing! Learn from three different master teachers. You’ll be in great shape after our series of vocal workshops designed for singers of all levels and voice types.
Tenor Brian Thorsett has been seen and heard in over 100 diverse operatic roles, ranging from Monteverdi to Britten, back to Rameau and ahead again to works composed specifically for his talents. As a concert singer and avid recitalist, Brian fosters a stylistically diversified repertoire of over 300 works. He is closely associated with expanding the vocal-chamber genre, premiering and commissioning many works across the US and Europe. Upcoming projects include the premiere of Ian Venables’ The Last Invocation, Gordon Getty’s Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Christopher Stark’s Scream.
He is a graduate of San Francisco Opera’s Merola Program, Glimmerglass Opera’s Young American Artist program, American Bach Soloists’ Academy, the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme at Aldeburgh, England and spent two summers at the Music Academy of the West. Brian is currently Associate Professor of Voice at Virginia Tech’s School of Performing Arts.
