Joining our quartet this Sunday is internationally acclaimed bass Kevin Thompson. Mr. Thompson possesses a voice of extraordinary range, depth, and color combined with a commanding stage presence. Described by San Francisco Classical Voice as “a mountain of a voice,” Mr. Thompson has performed leading roles in opera and concert halls across the U.S., Europe, and South America. Signature roles include Ramfis (Aida), Osmin (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Sarastro (Die Zauberflöte), Mephistophélès (Faust), Sparafucile (Rigoletto), and Il Commendatore (Don Giovanni).

A native Washingtonian, Thompson is an alumnus of The Juilliard School, San Francisco Opera’s prestigious Merola Program, and the Santa Fe Opera Program. His voice is permanently featured in the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum in Janet Cardiff’s audio walk exhibit Words Drawn in Water, where he sings “Old Man River.” To learn more, visit KevinThompsonBass.com.
