Jonathan Lasch has been described by critics as possessing a voice of “arresting color and heft,” capable of making “every note of the fast passagework perfectly clear,” and a “master of the stage” and “tour de force.” Last season, Jonathan was baritone soloist in the Philadelphia Orchestra’s performance of Brahms’s Requiem with the UMS Choral Union, led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor. He performed and taught at the historic Athens Academy in Athens, Greece; sang a recital of new works at Purdue University; and performed Carmina Burana with the Macomb Symphony. Other recent performances include the Green Lake Festival of Music in Wisconsin, Rackham Choir, and Wayne State University combined ensembles. In July, Navona Records released its recording of Jocelyn Hagen’s Amass, featuring Jonathan as baritone soloist. This season, Jonathan returns to Detroit Opera as Doctor Grenville in La traviata, sings Mendelssohn’s Elijah with Wayne State University combined ensembles, and will perform at the College Musical Society’s International Conference in Bogotá, Colombia. Jonathan’s degrees include a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance. He has taught voice at Concordia College in Moorhead (Minnesota), Adrian College (Michigan), and University of Michigan, and returns to Wayne State University in Detroit as assistant professor and coordinator of voice. Jonathan lives in Ferndale, Michigan with his wife and three children. He is co-founder and director of Detroit Song Collective, dedicated to fostering professional, accessible, and inclusive music-making spaces.
