GRAMMY-nominated baritone Joshua Conyers has been singled out by Opera News for his “deliciously honeyed baritone that would seduce anyone,” by The New York Times as having “a sonorous baritone” that “wheedled and seduced,” and by The Washington Post for giving a “show-stealing” performance. A native of The Bronx, NY, he is known for his captivating performances and recognized as one of the promising young dramatic voices of today.
In the 2025-26 season, Mr. Conyers returns to Finger Lakes Opera as the title role in Rigoletto, sings Tonio in Pagliacci with Buffalo Opera Unlimited, and makes several concert appearances with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra for Handel’s Messiah, the North Carolina Master Chorale for Brahms’ Requiem, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for Orff’s Carmina Burana. On the opera stage in 2024-25, he sang the role of Hassan in Edmond Dédé’s Morgiane in a special presentation with Opera Lafayette, in collaboration with Opera Creole and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. He was also seen with Piedmont Opera as Pierre Cauchon in The Trial at Rouen and made his role debut as Falstaff. Concert appearances included the Crumb American Songbook ll with the New World Symphony, Handel’s Messiah with the Phoenix Symphony, and a recital with the Brooklyn Art Song Society.
Mr. Conyers is currently on the voice faculty at the Eastman School of Music.
