Thomas Hobbs
Oregon Bach Festival Tenor Soloist
Thomas Hobbs is one of the most interesting and significant Bach tenors and is in high demand with leading baroque and early music ensembles across the world. Highlights of Hobbs’ 2024/25 season include Bach’s St. Matthew Passion for RIAS Kammerchor and the South Netherlands Philharmonic and concerts with ensembles including Le Banquet Celeste, Gli Angeli Geneve, and Les Arts Florissants. Key engagements in recent seasons have included two tours across Europe with the Netherlands Bach Society. Hobbs also continues long running relationships with Gli Angeli Geneve, Le Banquet Céleste, Alia Mens, Tafelmusik, and Ensembles Masques. His recordings of Handel Chandos Anthems with Stephen Layton and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Mozart’s Requiem in D minor with John Butt and the Dunedin Consort have been universally praised, with the latter receiving the 2014 Gramophone Award for best Choral recording.
