Cody Bowers

With a “supercharged voice and a sexy, subversive stage manner” (Seen and Heard International), Cody Bowers (@MrMezzo__ is recognized as one of the preeminent countertenors in North America. A national prizewinner of The Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, The George London Foundation for Singers, The Sullivan Foundation, and the Rochester International Vocal Competition, he has appeared with leading institutions including the New York Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, The Metropolitan Opera, Boston Early Music Festival, San Diego Opera, Minnesota Opera, Utah Opera, and Tanglewood Music Center. Recent and forthcoming highlights include role debuts as Giulio Cesare (Giulio Cesare in Egitto) and The Sorceress (Dido and Aeneas), a fully staged world-premiere tour of J.S. Bach’s St. Markus Passion with Oregon Bach Festival, and a Carnegie Hall solo debut as alto soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Oratorio Society of New York. Equally in demand as a concert artist, Bowers is a regular collaborator with ensembles such as Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra, the Handel & Haydn Society, Blue Heron Renaissance Choir, Tenet Vocal Artists, Bach Society Houston, and the Washington Bach Consort, and is admired for a repertoire that spans Baroque masterworks, major choral literature, and contemporary opera. He is currently based in New England, where he is pursuing a Doctorate in Voice Performance at Boston University.
