Luc Kleiner (Baritone)

Born: 1991 - Manhattan Beach, California, USA

The American baritone singer and composer, Luc Kleiner’s musicianship was fostered from an early age by his mother, a notable early childhood music educator and globally-renowned teacher trainer. After a transcendent experience performing at Tanglewood’s Young Artist program, and many influential summers working at Idyllwild Arts Festivals, he further pursued the voice, studying with Tim MacDougall at Cal State Long Beach. There his focuses ranged from German Lieder to progressive folk-punk, to the inspired songs of Charles Ives. He obtained his Bachelor of Music degree in Vocal Performance from California State University Long Beach (2013), and his Master of Music degree in Performance and Composition from California Institute of the Arts (2014-2017), where he studied composition and intonation with Wolfgang von Schweinitz.

Luc Kleiner has worked as a solo vocalist, pianist, arranger, recording artist, songwriter, and producer. He sings with myriad professional choirs, including the Los Angeles Master Chorale (since 2014), First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, Golden Bridge, Los Angeles Chamber Singers, and Clarion Singers, with whom he appeared as a soloist in Canterbury Cathedral last summer. He continues to shape a pluralistic musical identity in Los Angeles, where he performs frequently with such distinctive musical organizations as the Los Angeles Master Chorale and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. He is composer of music employing diverse styles and permeating genre boundaries. Luc is currently (as of 2017) working on an experimental-pop recording project, composing works for chorus and ensembles.

Luc Kleiner currently maintains private voice studios (The Lesson Lab - Long Beach) and adjunct-faculty membership at several community colleges (including Music Rhapsody in Redondo Beach), meanwhile excavating treasuries of new and original experimental music interleaving aesthetics of Pop, Concert, Virtuality, and Philosophy. He currently lives in Long Beach, California.
