Soloists

Guy Cutting

British tenor Guy Cutting is recognised internationally for his compelling performances and refined musicianship, with a particular reputation in the music of J.S. Bach. A regular soloist with Collegium Vocale Gent and conductor Philippe Herreweghe, he has performed across Europe’s leading concert halls and festivals including La Scala Milan, the BBC Proms and The Philharmonie Berlin.

Cutting is in great demand as Evangelists in Bach’s St Matthew and St John Passions and Christmas Oratorio, working with ensembles such as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Dunedin Consort and the Orchestra of the 18th Century. His interpretations are noted for their expressive phrasing, technical fluency and deep understanding of the text. He has contributed extensively to the Netherlands Bach Society All of Bach video series.

While Bach remains at the heart of his repertoire, Cutting also performs a wide range of music from the early Baroque to the 21st century appearing with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and the Bergen Philharmonic. He will shortly make his opera début singing Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni at the Confidencen Festival in Sweden. In recital he has appeared with pianist George Ireland at the Crete Senesi Festival presenting a programme of English song. Guy was a Choral Scholar at New College, Oxford, the inaugural recipient of the American Bach Soloists' Jeffrey Thomas Award and a Rising Star of the Enlightenment.
