Praised for his “gripping performances” by The New York Times, baritone Ryne Cherry commands the stage in repertoire ranging from opera and musical theater to new music, early music, oratorio and choral. Ryne’s recent highlights include performances of Haydn’s Creation with the Oratorio Society of Minnesota, a national tour of Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spaulding’s jazz-opera Iphigenia, regular appearances with Handel and Haydn Society including Bach’s Magnificat with Raphael Pichon and Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with Bernard Labadie and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall, and his debut with Miami-based Seraphic Fire. He spent this past summer as a Virginia Best Adams Fellow at Carmel Bach Festival in California.
