Bio

Originally from Los Angeles, tenor Zachary Wilder, is an avid performer of both early music and modern music.  In 2007, he made his debut in a trio of roles with the Boston Early Music Festival's production of Lully's Psyché.  Zachary has worked with a number of early music luminaries including Matthew Dirst, Ellen Hargis, Paul O'dette, Albert Ledoux, Antoine Plante and Steven Stubbs, and has performed with the Houston Bach Society, Mercury Baroque and Ars Lyrica Houston, and Ossia New Music Ensemble.


On stage, Mr. Wilder has been seen in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw (Peter Quint), Bolcom’s A Wedding (Donato), Corgliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles (Leon), Händel’s Flavio (Ugone), Weill’s Street Scene (Mr. Buchanan), Cimarosa’s A Secret Marriage (Paolino), and Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tiresias (Lacouf).  He has worked with conductors such as Benton Hess, Keith Lockhart, and Brad Lubman.


Mr. Wilder received his Bachelor of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in 2006 studying with John Maloy and Robert Swensen, and his Master of Music degree from the University of Houston in 2008 studying with Katherine Ciesinski. He is also a 2008 Tanglewood Vocal Fellow where he premiered  Mad Regales by Elliot Carter and performed the role of Toby Higgins in Weill’s Mahagonny.
