Featured Artists

Gregório Taniguchi

Tenor
Gregório Taniguchi, Tenor

Tenor Gregório Taniguchi empowers narratives with an intuitive sense of storytelling. He brings‭ linguistic gusto and vitality to performances as the Evangelist in Bach’s‬‭ St. John Passion‬‭ and‬ Christmas Oratorio‬‭, Æneas in Cavalli’s‬‭ La Didone‬‭,‬‭ Miles Zegner in Missy Mazzoli’s‬‭ Proving‬‭ Up‬‭, and Septimius in Handel’s‬‭ Theodora‬‭. He was a featured‬‭ soloist in a Peter Sellars-staged production of Schütz’s‬‭ Musikalische Exequien‬‭ with‬‭ Los Angeles Master Chorale, which opened‬‭ the Salzburg Festival. He has toured Ecuador with the emerging ensemble Las Aves,‬‭ presenting historically-informed 17th-century Italian and Spanish sacred repertoire in the‬‭ cathedrals of Quito during Holy Week.‬

Gregório has worked with pioneers and the next generation scholar-interpreters of early music,‬ such as John Butt, Rubén Dubrovsky, Jane Glover, Maria Guinand, Matthew Halls, Dana Marsh,‬ and Ruben Valenzuela. He enjoys the alchemy of collaborative ensemble singing, especially with‬ Clarion Vocal Ensemble, TENET, Tesserae, Bach Collegium San Diego, and Washington Bach‬ Consort. Gregório earned a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance at the Bob Cole‬ Conservatory of Music at California State University–Long Beach, and a Master’s degree in Early Music at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.‬

Gregório is passionate about being an active part of the community of artists, coaching language,‬ and teaching. As a pandemic passion project, he recorded some of his mother’s favorite‬‭ fado‬ while self-accompanying on ukulele, spurring him to learn‬‭ guitarra portuguesa.
