The Canadian counter-tenor and music teacher, Matthew Muggeridge, obtained his Bachelor of Music degree in Early Music Voice Performance from Schulich School of Music of McGill University in the studio of Dominique Labelle (2018-2022). His love for music of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries began as a boy treble in the Choir of Men and Boys’ at Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa. He studies Historical Performance at University of Toronto Faculty of Music (since August 2022).
Matthew Muggeridge has recently appeared as a soloist in George Frideric Handel's Messiah and is singing a lead role in Opera McGill’s production of G.F. Handel's Partenope. With J.S. Bach, he has appeared as a soloist in J.S. Bach’s Magnificat in D major BWV 243, Markus-Passion BWV 247, and selected sacred cantatas and oratorios with the Ottawa Baroque Consort. In Montreal, he appears as a chorister with the Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montréal, the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, and L'Harmonie des saisons. In March 2020, he was delighted to sing as a chorister at the Internationale Bachakademie in Stuttgart, Germany. He said: “I love to sing Bach arias. While performing Oratorio and Passion music, I always strive to communicate the text like an evangelist. Bach's works present a beautiful message of hope and redemption to both eighteenth century congregations and listeners today.”
Matthew Muggeridge teaches voice & piano at Willowdale School of Music in Toronto. He currently lives in Toronto, Ontario. |
