Steven Soph

Tenor

Praised as a “superb vocal soloist” (The Washington Post) and noted for his “impressive clarity and color” (The New York Times), tenor Steven Soph performs repertoire spanning the Renaissance to the present day. He has appeared as soloist with The Cleveland Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, the American Classical Orchestra, and the Tucson, Charlotte, Fort Worth, and New Jersey symphony orchestras, and has performed in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Boston’s Symphony Hall, and the Kennedy Center.

At Severance Hall, he performed Stravinsky’s Threni with The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst, an all-Handel program led by Ton Koopman, and Mozart’s Requiem conducted by Patrick Dupré Quigley. He made his Carnegie Hall solo debut in Manhattan Concert Productions’ performances of Mozart’s Requiem, conducted by Yoojin Muhn, and Dan Forrest’s Requiem for the Living, led by Jennaya Robison. At Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, he appeared in Bach’s Mass in B minor and Mendelssohn’s Psalm 41 with the American Classical Orchestra under Thomas Crawford.

Soph’s Baroque and Classical repertoire includes Handel’s Messiah; Bach’s Mass in B minor, Magnificat, and Passion settings; Haydn’s Creation (Uriel) and Lord Nelson Mass; and Mozart’s Requiem, “Orphanage” Mass, and Great Mass in C minor. His Romantic and twentieth-century repertoire includes Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis; Berlioz’s Requiem; Britten’s War Requiem; Stravinsky’s Threni; Reich’s The Desert Music; Keiser’s Brockes-Passion (North American debut); and Stacy Garrop’s Terra Nostra.

Recent seasons have included appearances in Boston’s Symphony Hall in Handel’s Israel in Egypt and Saul with the Handel + Haydn Society; at Meyerson Symphony Center in Berlioz’s Requiem on Dallas’ Highlander Concert Series; and at the Krannert Center with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra in Garrop’s Terra Nostra, conducted by Stephen Alltop.

A graduate of the University of North Texas and Yale School of Music, Soph studied at Yale’s Institute of Sacred Music with tenor James Taylor.
