Singer Wes Hunter,
praised for his "drama, heart, and shining tone,” is emerging as a
charismatic interpreter of both standard repertoire and new works. A
native Floridian, Hunter now resides in Boston where he performs a
variety of styles ranging from Baroque opera to new concert works.
Hunter debuted his solo cabaret to a sold-out audience at Club Café in
Boston, featuring a wide array of musical theatre songs. Other recent
credits include the title character in Rossini’s Le Comte Ory (Lowell
House Opera), Oronte in Handel’s Alcina (Opera del West), Laurie in
Adamo’s Little Women (MassOpera), Michael the Archangel in the workshop
of Julian Wachner's Rev 23 (Beth Morrison Projects), and the premiere of
Eugene in Leo Hurley’s The Body Politic (Juventas New Music Ensemble).
Based
in Boston, music director Scott Nicholas is an accomplished pianist
known as much for exceptional sensitivity to the performers he
accompanies as for his technique. Described as, "sensitive and adroit in
underscoring the changing moods, at first playful, then regal and
majestic," his repertoire spans classical and musical theater works.
Scott has appeared throughout the U.S. and internationally in solo and
chamber performances and has accompanied such preeminent singers as
Nancy Armstrong, Robert Honeysucker, and Jessica Cooper. In addition, he
has served as the rehearsal and performance pianist for the Tanglewood
Festival Chorus, the Borromeo String Quartet, the US Airforce Clarinet
Ensemble, Longwood Opera, the Minnesota Opera, the Boston Secession, the
Concord Women's Chorus, Boston Lyric Opera's outreach programs and the
Leontyne Price Vocal Arts Competition, among others.
An
experienced music director, he has served in that capacity for several
organizations including the New England Conservatory Opera Workshop,
Central Square Theater, Franklin Performing Arts Company, Suffolk
University, and Emerson College.
