Jason Awbrey

I know, I know. You were expecting to see something glorious here and were sorely disappointed when you found this joke of a page on my blog. Never fret, I’ll have something up soon. For now, here’s a little about me and my performing experience.

…

JASON H. AWBREY (baritone), has appeared with such performing organizations as the Dallas Bach Society, Texas Camerata, Orpheus Chamber Singers, Orchestra of New Spain, Santa Fe Desert Chorale, Allen Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony, Northeast Symphony and the San Antonio Symphony. His lyric voice has gained him solos in Handel’s Messiah, Carrisimi’s Jephte, Barber’s Dover Beach, Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, Fauré’s Requiem, Duruflé’s Requiem and Messe ‘Cum Jubilo’, Howells’ Requiem, the Bach Passions, numerous Bach cantatas, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Christmas Carols.

Jason has garnered much critical acclaim for his interpretations of music from the 17th through 20th century. In a performance of Schütz’s Die sieben Worte Jesu Christi am Kreuz, Scott Cantrell of the Dallas Morning News said Mr. Awbrey sang “with heartrending beauty and sensitivity.” The Fort Worth Star-Telegram wrote “Baritone Jason Awbrey was a resonant and commanding soloist” in a performance of Copland’s Old American Songs.

Mr. Awbrey can be heard on a number of recordings with the Church of the Incarnation choir and the Orpheus Chamber Singers. Those recordings include a CD of music by Orlando Gibbons, the masses of Howells, Kodály, and Langlais, and a Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis setting written by Joel Martinson dedicated to Mr. Awbrey and his wife. A recent recording released on Pro Organo features Jason as the baritone soloist in Duruflé’s Requiem.
