With an extraordinarily broad vocal range and
natural fluency in a wide array of musical styles,
American countertenor Terry Barber is a performer in
a class by himself.
Once a member of the Grammy
Award-winning ensemble, Chancticleer, he performed
opera, classical, gospel, folk and jazz in a dozen
languages in more than 100 concerts around the
globe.
Terry joined the roster of the
Metropolitan Opera in 2002 for their staging of
Sly,
starring Placido Domingo. In 2001, he made his New
York City Opera debut in
Il Ritorno
d’Ulisse in Patria and covered Daniel Taylor in
the NYC Opera’s production of
Handel’s Rinaldo, starring David Daniels. He made his debut at
Carnegie Hall in 2004, singing the role of Orlovsky
in Die Fledermaus with the National Chorale under Martin Josman.
Whether performing classical or popular favorites,
Terry Barber “breathes new life into everything he
sings” and crafts what the
Los Angeles
Times calls a “performance of great vitality and
verve.”
