Bio:

Luc Kleiner, “l’artiste interdisciplinaire… sublime voix de baryton” (Places des Arts) is an accomplished soloist and sought-after ensemble artist from Los Angeles. Kleiner has toured internationally, returning to the Salzburg Festival with the LA Master Chorale in Peter Sellars’ "spine-tingling" interpretations of Schütz’s Musikalische Exequien, Sofia Gubaidulina’s Sonnengesang, and di Lasso's Lagrime di San Pietro. After premiering a role in LA Phil’s monumental production of Stranger Love, a six-hour opera by Dylan Mattingly, Kleiner was dubbed “darkly seductive” by the New York Times, yet has also been praised as having “vocal tone and color as heavenly as the stars... gentle and emotive.” (Singerpreneur). Kleiner continues to shape a versatile career as a composer/arranger, a recording artist for film and television soundtracks, a co-founder of Musica Transalpina Baroque Ensemble, an active participant in shape-note and Sacred Harp singing around the country, an avant-pop musical and visual artist, and as a lecturer in voice studies at several Southern California colleges.
