Matthew Marinelli

Grammy award-winning Bass-Baritone Matthew Marinelli has been hailed throughout the country as “fabulous” and “show-stealing.” A graduate of Westminster Choir College (B.M. Voice Performance, 2019), he performs regularly across New York, Philadelphia, and New Jersey with many ensembles, including Tenet Vocal Artists, the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir, the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Chamber Choir, the Princeton Singers, LOTUS Project, and Convoco. He has also been a chorister at St. Clement’s Church (Philadelphia), the Episcopal Church of Princeton, and Trinity Church Princeton, and has been a regular soloist and chorister with the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC since 2017.

Equally at home in choral and operatic singing, Matthew has performed throughout the U.S., Peru, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and China, with past opera highlights including Geronimo in Il Matrimonio, Segreto and Sempronio in Haydn’s Der Apotheker, as well as premieres of Kevin Puts’ The Hours and Layale Chaker’s Ruinous Gods as a chorus member, and an appearance in Bradley Cooper’s film Maestro as a singer.

When he’s not singing, you can find Matthew conducting a barbershop chorus, teaching voice lessons, playing guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and piano, or editing and recording both classical and contemporary music. Outside of music, he enjoys gaming, bouldering, cooking, and playing D&D.
