Baritone 安德鲁·加兰 is hailed as a performer whose artistry is a perfect combination of “baritone of strength and vocal opulence” (Opera 新闻) and “cosmic energy and suavity” (Opera 新闻). He is widely recognized as a leader in recital work with dozens of performances around the country including Carnegie Hall with pianist Warren 琼斯, and programs of modern American songs across the United States and Canada. 琼斯, 玛丽莲·霍恩, 史蒂文·布莱, many American composers and several major music publications all endorse Garland as a highly communicative singer leading the way for the song recital into the 21st 世纪. This season, Garland makes his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut soloing in the Holiday Pops. He will also be heard in Gabriela Frank’s “Conquest Requiem” (Columbus Symphony) the Bach B Minor Mass (Colorado Bach Ensemble), Mozart Requiem (Colorado Symphony), and in recitals of new American music in Colorado and the East Coast.
Garland brings his highly communicative style to the concert stage with orchestras including the Atlanta Symphony, 波士顿的巴洛克风格, the Handel and Haydn Society, 伊曼纽尔音乐, Boston Youth Symphony, National Philharmonic, 奥尔巴尼交响曲, Houston Symphony, 安娜堡大学, Washington Master Chorale at the Kennedy Center and National Chorale at Lincoln Center.
Garland has been a regular with the New York Festival of Song and has given multiple recitals at Carnegie Hall, the Ravinia Festival as well as Vocal Arts DC, 玛丽莲·霍恩 Foundation, Bard Music Festival, Camerata Pacifica, Moab Music Festival, André-Turp Musical Society in Montreal, 佩斯的声音, Huntsville Chamber Music Guild, Fort Worth Opera, 西雅图歌剧院, Fanfare in Hammond, 路易斯安那州, 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 NATS National Conference where that organization’s president declared him “the next Thomas Hampson.” (Garland prefers to think of himself as “the first 安德鲁·加兰.”)
In addition to numerous song and concert premieres, Garland has created operatic roles in the world premieres of “Dinner at Eight,” William Bolcom/Mark Campbell, Minnesota Opera; “Steal a Pencil For Me,” Gerald Cohen/Deborah Brevoort, Opera Colorado; “The Book Collector,” Stella Sung/Ernest Herbert, Dayton Opera; and “Artemisia,” Laura Schwendinger/Ginger Strand, Prototype Festival.
