"One of the finest young tenors in the Washington area" (Washington Post) Born in Hamburg, Germany, tenor Ole Hass grew up singing in the boys’ choir at St. Michael’s cathedral, where he sang with Hermann Prey, Peter Schreier and other noted artists. At home now in the Washington, DC area, he has performed as soloist with the Washington Bach Consort, Cantate Chamber Singers, the New Dominion Chorale, the City Choir of Washington, as well as at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Handel’s Messiah. His performances as Evangelist in Bach’s St. John Passion at the National Cathedral and in the Christmas Oratorio, with the Bach Consort at Strathmore Hall, received critical acclaim. Recent song recitals include appearances at the Dacor BACON and the Heurich Houses in Washington, DC. Hass holds a DMA in vocal performance from the University of Maryland, College Park, and until recently worked as Associate Editor for RIPM: Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals.
