About Speaker

Countertenor Logan Tanner is praised for his “striking musicality, clarity, and strong coloratura” (Opera Canada) and has performed on operatic stages throughout the United States and abroad.

Recent performances include the role of Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina, at the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival, and “commanded the role of Oberon charmingly” (Opera Canada) in Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Halifax Opera Festival.

Tanner’s concert repertoire spans a wide breadth of material, and he is known for bringing a flowing bel canto dimension to the alto solos in Handel’s Messiah, the Roasting Swan in Orff’s Carmina Burana, the Brahms Viola Songs, and the treble solos in Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, which he performed alongside Jamie Bernstein, the daughter of Leonard Bernstein.

Logan Tanner is appearing in association with the Sarasota Orchestra.
