Praised for his “strikingly subtle" and "eloquently versatile voice" (Boston Music Intelligencer),

David Thomas Mather interprets a wide body of repertoire including early Baroque, German Lieder, and musical theatre, drawing inspiration from both classical and contemporary style in his performing. 

​

 Pursuing a very active soloist career, David was most recently featured as Aeneas in Dido's Ghost by Errollyn Wallen with Emmanuel Music, and originated the role of Octavian in The Onion by Eric Sawyer, a sci-fi opera blurring the lines between human connection and AI. Other noteworthy performances include BWV 123, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, the St. John & St. Matthew Passions, Handel's Messiah, BWV 106 Actus Tragicus, BWV 140, and John Eccles' Macbeth. David enjoys performing regularly with Calliope’s Call, Emmanuel Music, Capella Clausura, the Marsh Chapel Choir at Boston University, and the Choir of Trinity Church.

​

David has sung under the baton of Ryan Turner, Scott Allen Jarrett, Federico Cortese, David Angus, and Sir Donald Runnicles. He has been pleased to work collaboratively with modern composers including Christopher Theofanidis, Gabriela Lena Frank, Mark Adamo, and John Harbison, and has premiered pieces by GRAMMY-winner Jennifer Higdon, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, and Jonathan David.

​

Mr. Mather holds a BM in Vocal Performance with a Minor in Theatre from DePauw University, a Master of Music degree in Historical Performance, Voice and a Graduate Performance Diploma in Chamber Music from the Longy School of Music of Bard College. When he isn't singing, you can find David doing graphic and web design, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and mixing cocktails for friends at home.
