吳智誠男高音獨唱
2013 「生.息」音樂會
Heralded for his "powerfully expressive voice" (Washington Post, May 2009), and "glorious in this feat of vocal gymnastics and interpretation" (The Gazette, Cedar Rapids, 2012), Stephen Ng is known as an opera, oratorio, recital, and new music performer. On the operatic stage, he was featured as tenor soloist with Amsterdam's De Nederlandse Opera, in the staged version of Stravinsky's Threni, directed by renowned Peter Sellars.
As a soloist, Stephen has performed all the major works of J.S. Bach, Handel's Messiah, as well as major oratorios. His portrayal of Evangelist in Bach's Passions has received much acclaim, and he has performed with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Washington Bach Consort, The Bach Choir of Bethlehem, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Carmel Bach Festival, Amherst Early Music Festival, and the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra. Stephen's other engagements also include performing with Festival Internacional Cervantino (Guanajuato, Mexico), Theatre of Voices, Schönberg Ensemble (Amsterdam), Tanglewood and Aspen Music Festivals, Orchestra Iowa, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, working with conductors such as James Levine, Nicolas McGegan, Paul Hillier, Reinbert de Leeuw, J. Reilly Lewis, Simon Carrington, and Gennady Rozhdestvensky. With great interest in contemporary music, he has performed twice at the Lucerne Festival Academy, under the direction of Pierre Boulez, including a return appearance in 2009 where he performed Sinfonia by Luciano Berio.
