Countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen is recognized for his “astonishingly beautiful” and “golden-toned” voice (The Guardian) and hailed by The New York Times as a “young star” and “complete artist.” Praised as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (Limelight), he brings passionate artistry and expressive depth to repertoire spanning the Baroque to the contemporary.

He is a GRAMMY® winner for his debut commercial recording with the London Symphony Orchestra and a prizewinner at major competitions, including the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition and the 2024 Gerda Lissner Foundation Vocal Competition.

In the 2024–25 season, he performs in the world premiere of Fanny and Alexander at La Monnaie de Munt and makes his Salzburg Festival debut in Three Sisters. He appears with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Ars Lyrica Houston, and returns to Carnegie Hall for Messiah. His recital tour with pianist John Churchwell supports his upcoming solo album Uncharted (AVIE Records), featuring Romantic works by Clara and Robert Schumann, Brahms, and Korngold.

A champion of Jewish music, he leads the JIVE (Jewish Innovative Voices & Experiences) series in California. Recent triumphs include the title role in Giulio Cesare at Glyndebourne and a Metropolitan Opera debut in Brett Dean’s Hamlet. He has sung leading roles with major companies including San Francisco Opera, Opernhaus Zürich, and Bayerische Staatsoper.

A graduate of Princeton University and Houston Grand Opera Studio, Aryeh lives in Northern California with his wife and serves on the board of the American Guild of Musical Artists.
