Daniel Lichti
Acclaimed as one of
Canada’s finest concert and oratorio singers, Daniel Lichti continues to build
on his successes with major symphonic, choral and concert organizations
worldwide. Since beginning his career at the 1974 Stratford Festival, he has
bowed with the Canadian Opera Company, at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, L’Opéra de
Montréal, Opéra de Québec, Opera Atelier, Edmonton Opera and Opera Hamilton.
Mr. Lichti has been a frequent performer with Toronto’s Opera in Concert, sings
regularly at several North American Choral Festivals, and his concerts have
been heard on the CBC, BBC, and NPR networks. Since 1998 he has been Associate
Professor and Coordinator of Voice for the Faculty of Music at Wilfrid Laurier
University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
A popular recitalist
and acclaimed Lieder singer, Lichti has sung Schubert’s Winterreise at
Washington’s National Gallery, for Festival Canada and for the International
Chamber Music Festival in Ottawa, for national broadcast on the CBC, at the
Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival in Virginia, for Temple Square Concerts in Salt
Lake City, Utah, in Valetta, Malta, in Israel, and most recently, while on
sabbatical, in Paris, Vienna, and Lyon. His critically acclaimed recording of
this song cycle with colleague Leslie De’Ath was released by ANALEKTA. Mr.
Lichti chose this work to celebrate 40 years of professional life with
enthusiastically received performances in Waterloo and Toronto.
In combination with
his recitals, Mr.Lichti is often invited to conduct Master Classes. He has been
a guest teacher in Valetta, Malta, at Rollins College, in Winterpark, Florida,
at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, at the 2012 Summer Academy of
Chamber Music in Osnabrück, Germany and, in 2013, at Académie de Fourvière in
Lyon, France and the Institute for European Studies in Vienna. Now a regular
guest instructor in Lyon, where he also appears in recital, in 2014 he is
invited to conduct Master Classes at Baldwin-Wallace University, and in Taiwan
at Tapei’s National University of the Arts and for the Music Department of
Tunghai University.
He was featured as
one of a panel of four judges and coaches for the second season of the highly
successful Bathroom Divas show that aired on BRAVO-TV and won a Gemini Award
for Best Human Interest Series.
Highlights of past
seasons include a Proms Concert at Royal Albert Hall in a premiere performance
of Libby Larsen’s I It Am (a co-commission by the Bach Choir of Bethlehem and
the BBC), the world premiere of Ruth Fazal’s deeply moving Oratorio Terezin in
Toronto, performances of Bach’s Mass in B minor at King’s College, the Thomaskirche
in Leipzig, Usher Hall in Edinburgh, at St. Albans Organ Festival, the Hercules
Saal in Munich as well as at the Kennedy Center and at Carnegie Hall in
celebration of the Centenary of its first North American performance. Concerts
and an acclaimed video recording with the Bach specialist, Helmuth Rilling and
the Bach Akademie of Stuttgart, as well as concerts with the Bach Aria Group
and the Washington Bach Consort are also among his past credits. Mr. Lichti has
been a frequent guest artist at major North American Bach Festivals, notably
The Bach Festival in Bethlehem, PA, the Carmel Bach Festival, the
Baldwin-Wallace Festival in Berea, Ohio, the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival
and the Oregon Bach Festival. In 2012 he made his debut with the Tilford Bach
Society in England for their Diamond Jubilee. He has been heard in concert with
the Symphony Orchestras of San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Atlanta,
Milwaukee, Vancouver, Cleveland, Edmonton, Quebec City, Winnipeg,
Kitchener-Waterloo and Newark; with Boston’s Handel & Haydn Society, the
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Canadian Chambre Ensemble, Philharmonia
Baroque of San Francisco, Les Violons du Roy and Tafelmusik.
Fans of the many
recitals given by Mr. Lichti together with mezzo soprano Catherine Robbin and
pianist Leslie De’Ath, were delighted with their 2010 release of Hugo Wolf’s
Italienisches Liederbuch also on ANALEKTA. Earlier recordings by Mr. Lichti
include Songs of Hugo Wolf, nominated for a Juno Award, two recordings of Bach
Cantatas and the Mass in B minor with the Bach Choir of Bethlehem (all on the
Dorian label), Sony’s The Gift of Messiah, and two CDs of Lieder by Schubert,
Schumann, and Brahms with pianist Janina Fialkowska on the Opening Day label. A
Centaur Records recording of baroque gems, The Soulful Bach &Telemann,
features Mr. Lichti with the American early music ensemble “Olde Friends”. A
more recent recording with the Ottawa Bach Choir, and a 2009 ANALEKTA release
with the Bach Choir of Bethlehem build on his extensive discography.
Highlights of the
past season included concerts with Theatre of Early Music in Ottawa and
Montreal, return engagements at the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival in Berea,
Ohio, at America’s oldest Bach Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and at the
Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Closer to home, he
sang Messiah and the title role in Elijah with the Guelph Chamber Choir, and
the St. John Passion for the traditional Good Friday performance at Kitchener’s
Centre in the Square with the Grand Philharmonic Choir and Kitchener-Waterloo
Symphony Orchestra.
This season’s
highlights will see Mr. Lichti in a performance of Winterreise at York
University, Brahm’s Ein Deutsches Requiem with Mennonite Mass Choir in
Kitchener, Messiah with the Grand Philharmonic Choir, and his concert debut in
Taiwan with the Puli “Butterfly” Symphony Orchestra.
