Soloists

Reginald Mobley

GRAMMY-nominated American countertenor Reginald Mobley is globally renowned for his interpretation of baroque, classical and modern repertoire, leading a prolific career on both sides of the Atlantic.

An advocate for diversity in music and its programming, Reginald became the first-ever Programming Consultant for the Handel & Haydn Society following several years of leading them in their community-engaging Every Voice concerts. Reginald is leading a research project in the UK (funded by the AHRC) to uncover music by composers from diverse backgrounds. He is also Visiting Artist for Diversity Outreach with Apollo’s Fire, and Artistic Advisor at the Portland Baroque Orchestra.

Highlights of recent seasons include recitals at De Bijloke in Gent, Wigmore Hall, MA Festival (Brugge), and the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival, as well as regular appearances with major orchestras and specialized ensembles in North America (Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Collegium San Diego, Washington Bach Consort) and Europe (Monteverdi Choir and Orchestras, De Nederlandse Bachvereniging, Orchester Wiener Akademie, Orchestre de Chambre de Paris). Reginald has also been invited to tour Australia with Bach Akademie Australia, and Japan with Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki.

His first solo CD with Alpha Classics was released in June 2023, coinciding with a series of concerts with pianist Baptiste Trotignon at the Aix-en-Provence and BBC Proms festivals. The CD won both an Opus Klassik and an Edison Klassiek award. A second Alpha recording will explore English baroque music and its influence on modern American repertoire.
