Andrew Garland

Baritone

Baritone Andrew Garland is widely recognized as a leader in recital work, with dozens of performances around the country including Carnegie Hall with pianist Warren Jones and programs of modern American songs all over the Unites States and in Canada. Jones, Marilyn Horne, Steven Blier, a number of American composers, and several major music publications all endorse him as a highly communicative singer leading the way for the song recital into the 21st century.

Garland brings his highly communicative style to the concert stage with orchestras including the Atlanta Symphony, Boston Baroque, the Handel and Haydn Society, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra, National Philharmonic, Albany Symphony, Washington Master Chorale at the Kennedy Center, and National Chorale at Lincoln Center.

Garland is a regular with the New York Festival of Song (NYFOS) and has given multiple recitals at Carnegie Hall, the Ravinia Festival, Vocal Arts DC, Marilyn Horne Foundation, The Bard Festival, Camerata Pacifica, Andre-Turp Society in Montreal, Voce at Pace, Huntsville Chamber Music Guild, Fort Worth Opera, Seattle Opera, Fanfare in Hammond, LA, Cincinnati Matinee Musicale, Cincinnati Song Initiative, Tuesday Morning Music Club, and dozens of college music series around the country. In 2014, he was the featured recitalist for the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) National convention, where the organization’s president declared him “the next Thomas Hampson.”

His latest solo CD American Portraits (with Donna Loewy, piano) went to Number 1 on Amazon classical. Garland has five other recordings on the Telarc, Naxos, Roven Records, and Azica Labels.

Garland is the winner of the Lavinia Jensen, NATSAA, Washington International, American Traditions, NATS, and Opera Columbus Competitions and was a prize winner in the Montreal International, Jose Iturbi, Gerda Lissner, McCammon and Palm Beach International Competitions. He was an apprentice at the San Francisco Opera Center, the Seattle Opera, and Cincinnati Opera Young Artists programs.
