From Art Song to Concert works and Opera
|
Tenor Zachary Vanderburg has been heralded as singing “beautifully” (Chicago Classical Review) and “with vocal luster, dramatic fire, and lyrical sympathy” (Augsburger Allgemeine), and his performances have been called “very fine” (Chicago Tribune), “riveting”, “a knockout” and “sensational”(Chicago Classical Review). Zachary has appeared with the Lake Forest Civic Orchestra as Don Jose in Bizet's Carmen; given an Alumni Recital at Roosevelt University with renowned pianist Dana Brown; and made his solo debut with Music of the Baroque, of which he is a member, under the direction of Jane Glover.
Comfortable in opera repertoire as well as concert and recital, past seasons have seen Zachary’s role debuts of Rodolfo in Puccini's La Bohème, The Visitor in Glass’ In the Penal Colony, and Leander in Nielsen's Maskarade; performances with the Chicago Opera Theater; Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2, “Lobgesang” at the Masterworks Festival; Bach’s Quodlibet, Cantata 147, and Beethoven's Choral Fantasy as an artist-in-residence at the Baroque on Beaver Island Music Festival; European tours of Dvorak’s Stabat Mater, Bruckner's Te Deum, Haydn’s Die Schöpfung, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, and Mozart’s Coronation Mass headlining the Eutiner Festspiele, Festival Durance Luberon, Hamburg's St. Michael's Church, the Karlsruhe Konzerthaus as well as other venues in Germany, France and Luxembourg; and appearances as a backup singer in Chicago with The Rolling Stones on their 50 & Counting tour.

ReviewsAs the Visitor–in this staging a reporter scribbling notes and talking into his recorder–tenor Zachary Vanderburg was on the same level. He moved believably from an initially intrigued everyman to being appalled and repulsed by the machine, finally standing up to the bullying Officer. Vanderburg too sang beautifully, negotiating the role’s unsparing high tessitura with ease.

"The soloists were all Americans, and it was outstanding how they realized the German text...Another good soloist was Zachary Vanderburg, whose bright tuned voice filled the church with ease."
