Sam Denler

Sam Denler is a tenor based in New Haven, Connecticut who performs as a soloist and choral singer around the world. He sings in the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir under Yannick Nézet-Séguin and was a 2023-24 Voces8 Scholar. He is the tenor soloist for Ryan Brandau in Amor Artis, recently performed for the third time with elite early music ensemble Res Facta, and filmed a scene with Bradley Cooper for Netflix’s Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro. Mr. Denler has been featured in numerous music festivals, most recently with the Bachakademie in Stuttgart, Germany, and in his sixth fellowship with the Spoleto Festival USA Chorus in Charleston, SC. This is his fourth year as audio and video engineer, singer, and cofounder of Convoco Ensemble.

Mr. Denler is in the final semester of his Master's in Voice: Early Music, Oratorio + Chamber Ensemble in the prestigious Voxtet ensemble at Yale University this Spring. The 8 students in the program are featured soloists throughout the year, with this year’s performances including the title role in Handel’s Jephtha, for which he was praised by Parterre Box, saying "His bright tenor dealt handily with the difficult coloratura, spinning out a lovely, comforting 'Waft her angels.'” He is also anticipating a tour of Italy this summer, singing the role of Uriel in Haydn’s Creation and culminating in a concert of Italian madrigals with Simon Carrington. He earned his Bachelor’s in Music Education at Westminster Choir College in 2019, where he sang with the Westminster Choir, early music ensemble Kantorei and the Westminster Symphonic Choir.
