Andre Solomon-Glover has developed an international career singing a wide repertoire ranging from the roots of American song to opera, from Broadway to ground-breaking contemporary works. Mr. Solomon-Glover, whom critics have called “a remarkably communicative performer,” has made solo appearances in major halls throughout the United States and Europe; he has performed with the Leipzig Gewandhaus and the Philadelphia Orchestra, among others. This season, Mr. Solomon-Glover's appearances include La Boheme, Robert Convery's I Have a Dream at Carnegie Hall, Peter Maxwell Davies' Le Jongleur de Notre Dame with the Da Capo Chamber Players, and Britten's Cantata Misericordium with the New Amsterdam Singers. Solo appearances last season included Hindemith's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd under Dennis Russell Davies at Carnegie Hall, and Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light at Avery Fisher with the Concordia Orchestra. He performed and recorded Louis Karchin's American Visions with the Da Capo Chamber Players, and his interpretation of Elliott Carter's Syringa with the Ensemble Sospeso will be released on CD/DVD in autumn 2000.

As an opera singer, Mr. Solomon-Glover has sung with the Opera de Lyon, the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Spoleto, Itlay, the Savonlinna Opera Festival in Finland, the Munich Biennale, Opera Ensemble of New York, Opera at the Academy, Piedmont Opera, Opera Delaware, Opera Festival of New Jersey, Opera Ebony and the Liederkranz Opera. His diverse operatic roles have included Escamillo in Carmen, the title role in Rigoletto, Porgy (in a 35-city North American tour of Porgy and Bess), and numerous leading roles written specifically for him. On Broadway, Mr. Solomon-Glover starred as Joe in Hal Prince's Tony Award-winning production of Showboat, which he toured nationwide. In the summer of 1997 he appeared as guest soloist with the Boston Pops for their nationally televised Fourth of July celebration Pop Goes the Fourth. He has also been a guest artist at the Marlboro Chamber Music Festival for two years and the Chicago Jazz Festival.

As an advocate for art song—particularly American songs and spirituals—Mr. Solomon-Glover has studied with such luminaries as Virgil Thomson, Adele Addison, Betty Allen, Jorma Hynninen and Robert McFerrin. His commitment to this literature won him the Joy In Singing recital competition in 1990.
