JOEL BURCHAM
Joel Burcham, an exceptionally gifted American tenor, has garnered widespread acclaim for his extraordinary vocal performances. He has brought to life over 35 principal tenor roles with some of the world's most renowned opera companies, including Utah Opera, Central City Opera, Opera Omaha, Madison Opera, Opera Fort Collins, Opera Theatre of the Rockies, and Painted Sky Opera. His portrayals of Alfredo, Don José, Pinkerton, Cavaradossi, Canio, and Faust have left an indelible mark on audiences around the globe.
Dr. Burcham's musical journey has extended beyond the opera stage, as he has mesmerized audiences as a concert soloist, performing with esteemed symphonies such as the Hawaii Symphony, Colorado International Mahler Festival, South Bend Symphony, Omaha Symphony, Madison Symphony, and the Classical Music Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria. His repertoire spans a wide range, encompassing iconic works like Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Missa Solemnis, Haydn's Creation and The Seasons, Verdi's Missa Di Requiem, Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, War Requiem, and Handel's Messiah.
Dr. Burcham's musical interests are as diverse as they are captivating. In addition to his classical music performance and teaching, he has a fervent passion for hard rock and heavy metal music. He co-created a course in heavy metal for non-music majors at the University of Colorado-Boulder and continues to teach it at the University of Oklahoma. His versatility is further showcased in his creation of his own metal music under the project name Thlipsis. Currently, Thlipsis has two singles, Launch and Cauldron, for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
With a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a rich teaching background at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Dr. Burcham now serves as an Associate Professor of Voice and Past Voice Area Chair at the University of Oklahoma School of Music.
