Lauded for his “sonorous” voice (Opera News), baritone Harrison Hintzsche is celebrated for his warm lyric tone, nuanced musicality, and profound dedication to text. His dynamic career spans oratorio, art song, and chamber music, where he thrives on the challenge of interpreting a diverse repertoire and bridging a living connection between author and audience. Hintzsche’s passion for music has led him to perform on world-class stages such as London’s Wigmore Hall, New York City’s Weill Recital Hall and Alice Tully Hall, and Seoul’s National Theater of Korea. He has worked closely with several celebrated leaders in music, such as Nicholas McGegan, Masaaki Suzuki, Graham Johnson, and Jos van Veldhoven.

Hintzsche has recorded the bass arias in J. S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, St. John Passion, Easter Oratorio, and Magnificat with Cantata Collective and conductor Nicholas McGegan, all released by AVIE Records. He can also be heard singing various Lieder by Luise Greger on New Muses’ self-titled album, which features works by various underrepresented composers.

A sought-after ensemble musician, Hintzsche has performed with some of the nation’s leading choral ensembles, including the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Conspirare, Ensemble Altera, the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus, Yale Choral Artists, and the VocalEssence Ensemble Singers, among others. He holds degrees in music from Yale University and St. Olaf College. Hintzsche is currently based in Brooklyn, New York, and hails from DeKalb, Illinois.
