This June in Buffalo, we look forward to welcoming bass-baritone Nicholas Isherwood back to to the University at Buffalo.
Nicholas Isherwood is a highly sought after vocalist, director, composer, and pedagogue. He completed his undergraduate and gradate studies at the Oberlin Conservatory before earning his DEA at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes.
A leading interpreter of early modern and contemporary singing roles, such Don Bartolo in W.A. Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Hotel Manager in Thomas Adès’s Powder Her Face, and Truffaldino in Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, Isherwood has performed in acclaimed venues across Europe and North America. He has collaborated with regarded composers such as Elliott Carter, George Crumb, Hans Werner Henze, Mauricio Kagel, György Kurtág, and Olivier Messiaen. Isherwood’s recent projects include collaborations with visual artists, such as Massimo Bartolini. He is scheduled to take part in the U.S. premier of Elliott Sharpe's Die Grösste Fuge on June 13 of this year at Roulette's Intermedium in Brooklyn, NY. (Read more by David Salazar at Opera Wire)
