Douglas Williams, bass-baritone, has been praised for his “ringing conviction” (Boston Globe) and highlighted as “particularly impressive” (New York Times) for his work in concert repertoire and early opera. As soloist he has sung Bach Cantatas under Helmuth Rilling, Bruno Weil, and Steven Fox, Mozart Vespers with Sir David Wilcocks, Haydn with Sir Neville Marriner, Mahler with Manfred Schreier, and numerous concerts and operas led by Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs. In 2010 Mr. Williams made his European solo debut with Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyrique in Purcell’s King Arthur at Cité de la Musique, Paris. He can be heard on the recording of Lully’s Psyché, with the Boston Early Music Festival, nominated for a Grammy for best opera recording in 2008. Mr. Williams studied at the New England Conservatory, Yale School of Music, and Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and he trained as an actor with Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts.
