Artist Biography
Stephen Grant
Stephen Grant, bass-baritone was born in Montreal, Canada. He studied organ and voice in Canada before moving to Germany in 1987 to begin singing professionally. There he established working relationships with some of Europe's best-known early music ensembles — Sequentia, the Ferrara Ensemble, Ensemble Organum de Paris and others, concertizing widely and making over 20 CD recordings.
His interest in varied repertoires has led him to perform a broad range of music including opera ( Cosi fan tutte, Orfeo, La Serva Padrona, Pimpinone, The Emperor of Atlantis), contemporary works by Saariaho (Paris), Fritsch (Bonn), Staub (Göteborg & Saarbrücken), as well as lied and oratorio repertoire. Stephen, in Melbourne since 1997, is founder director of e21 and is currently Lecturer in Voice at the Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Music at the University of Melbourne.
