Florian Boesch, baritone

Austrian baritone Florian Boesch is counted as one of today’s foremost Lieder interpreters with appearances at the most important concert halls. He has been an artist in residence at the Wigmore Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus, Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, Theater an der Wien and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. As a frequent guest on the concert platform, Florian Boesch has worked with leading orchestras and conductors, and he worked particularly closely with Nikolaus Harnoncourt. An equally compelling performer on the opera stage, Florian Boesch’s most recent productions included Handel’s Saul and Orlando conceived by Claus Guth at the Theater an der Wien. Major productions of his career include Alban Berg’s Wozzeck in Cologne and Mozart’s Così fan tutte at the Salzburg Festival. Florian Boesch has been Professor of Lied and Oratorio at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna since autumn 2015.
