In 2016, Ramseyer received a master’s degree in vocal performance from Mannes School of Music. At Mannes, the tenor gained an affinity for contemporary opera, having performed lead roles in Mark Adamo’s Little Women, as well as the New York City premiere of Jonathan Dove’s Flight. Solidifying his love for new works, that season, the tenor also starred in the world premiere of Theodore Christman’s Adriana McMannes with the Christman Opera Company. In 2017, Ramseyer collaborated with the Aaron Copland School of Music in a celebration of composer Joel Mandelbaum’s revolutionary opera, The Dybbuk. The Illinois native is a long-time collaborator with the Midwest Institute of Opera, having performed five major roles since their inception in 2011. Previous roles include Tamino (Die Zauberflöte), Don Ottavio (Don Giovanni), Aeneas (Dido and Aeneas), Lysander (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Fenton (Falstaff), Fenton (Sir John in Love), Bill (Flight), Laurence (Little Women), and the brief-but-powerful L’Aumonier (Diaglogues of the Carmelites). As a concert soloist, Ramseyer has collaborated with many of New York’s finest ensembles, including the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the American Classical Orchestra, and Camerata New York. In 2019, Ramseyer toured the United States and Europe with the three-time Grammy-nominated Clarion Choir and The English Concert, under the baton of Harry Bicket. With the Clarion Choir, he will be the featured tenor soloist on an upcoming release of Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil, led by music director Steven Fox.
