Contemporary Classical Music for Baritones
A Renaissance of Song
Contemporary classical music for voice has seen a resurgence in recent years, with a growing number of composers writing song cycles, art songs, and lighter songs specifically for baritones. This renewed interest in the baritone voice is due in part to the increasing popularity of opera and musical theater, which have helped to bring the baritone voice to a wider audience.
Baritones on the Rise
Today, there are many great baritones performing on the world stage. Some of the most famous include:

These baritones have all made significant contributions to the world of classical music, and their performances have helped to raise the profile of the baritone voice.
