Harrison Hintzsche

Lauded for his “mahogany baritone” (Early Music America), 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.

Recent performance highlights include J. S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor with The Sebastians, St. Matthew Passion with Kent Tritle at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, bass solo cantatas Ich habe genug and Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen with Philip Cave and Duke University; as well as Durufle’s Requiem with James O’Donnell and the Yale Consort, Mendelssohn’s Vom Himmel hoch with Riverside Choral Society, Finzi’s In Terra Pax with the Choral Society of the Hamptons, and covered the bass solos in Penderecki’s Credo for the Oregon Bach Festival. He has recorded the bass arias in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, St. John Passion, Easter Oratorio, and Magnificat with Cantata Collective and conductor Nicholas McGegan, all released by AVIE Records.

Hintzsche holds degrees in music from Yale University and St. Olaf College, and now lives in Brooklyn, New York. He hails from DeKalb, Illinois.
