Ruschman
Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as "funny and fresh-voiced", tenor Gary Ruschman
appears regularly in concert, opera, jazz, theatre,
studio, and chamber music settings, but with special love for contemporary and historically
informed Baroque performance. His performances include principal light lyric and character tenor roles in more than thirty operas, musicals, and plays, as well as an extended concert repertoire. He has performed alongside jazz legends Doc Severinsen and Bobby McFerrin, and has an extensive discography.
Gary has toured the globe as a long-time member of CANTUS vocal ensemble, serving multiple terms on the ensemble's artistic leadership and Board of Directors.
For more than a decade, the tenor has worked extensively as an educator for performers and vocal ensembles of all levels. Gary has maintained private vocal studios in the Twin Cities, Greater Cincinnati, and San Francisco Bay Areas, and provided musical direction for numerous projects and concert programs. His critically-acclaimed vocal and choral arrangements have been performed and recorded throughout North America.
...Among many, the most moving highlight might be the solo of Gary Ruschman (All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914)
