Steven Rickards, countertenor
One of America's finest countertenors, Steven Rickards studied in Aldeburgh with Sir Peter Pears and Robert Spencer. Mr. Rickards recently returned from a performance in Oslo of Bach's B minor Mass with the Bærum Bach Choir; he also performed it in 1994 at New York's Mostly Mozart Festival under Joshua Rifkin. Mr. Rickards' association with Mr. Rifkin has led to a Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London of the St. Matthew Passion, and an Australian tour of the B minor Mass. Mr. Rickards has sung with Chanticleer, the Music of the Baroque, His Majesty's Clerkes, Theater of Voices and the American Bach soloists, among numerous other prominent early music groups. He has performed with numerous orchestras, including Boston's prestigious Handel & Haydn Society. Mr. Rickards also appears with lutenist Dorothy Linell in a program of Elizabethan music.
