Kyle Stegall

Kyle Stegall's flexible and stylish artistry has been a powerful presence on concert and opera stages around the world. Celebrated for the astonishing diversity of his repertoire, he lends the same penetratingly emotive artistry to music spanning Bach evangelists, leading tenor roles in the works of Mozart and the masters of the Bel Canto Era, and operatic world-premieres.

Actaimed for bringing new music to life, Mr. Stegall's forthcoming album of song sets by living composers for Centaur Records will include works by Harry Sdraulig, Adolphus Hailstork, Anne Cawrse, Rosephanye Powell, and B.E. Boykin. Kyle created the role of 'Tomasso' in Laura Schwendinger's Artemisia, in a production supported by the national endowment for the arts.

On the concert stage, Mr. Stegall has performed as guest soloist with ensembles across the world under celebrated conductors such as William Christie, Manfred Honeck, Masaaki Suzuki, Matilda Hofman, Stephen Stubbs, Mark Dupere, Matthew Dirst, Nic McGegan, Dana Marsh, and Kathleen Allan.

Known especially for his portrayals of the Bach Evangelists, Mr. Stegall studied under legendary evangelist singer James Taylor at the Institute for Sacred Music, Yale University, where he was a member of the highly-selective Artist Diploma program. He was given Yale's Margot Fassler Performer's Award following his debut at Lincoln Center-Manhattan singing evangelist in Bach's St. John Passion.

In the opera theater, Mr. Stegall's repertoire is distinguished for its breadth and his stagework for its depth, whether performing repertoire of the early Baroque, the leading tenors of Mozart and Bel Canto masterpieces, or character tenors in the works of Wagner.

A committed recitalist, Mr. Stegall was twice invited to be a performance fellow with the Britten-Pears Programme at the Aldeburgh Music Festival, where he studied Schubert song with Christoph Prégardien, and Britten song with Ian Bostridge. Mr. Stegall and Fortepianist Eric Zivian hold a long-standing relationship with the Valley of the Moon Music Festival, and their album Myrtle and Rose drew international attention.

Mr. Stegall commits himself to the development of young artists through Masterclasses and vocal coaching. He is a proud alumnus of the Universities of Yale, Michigan, and Missouri.
