Countertenor Reginald Mobley, one of the foremost interpreters of J.S. Bach, is Oliver’s guest this week. Mobley shares his approach to singing what is considered to be the most technically and intellectually challenging vocal music in the standard concert repertoire. Mobley is also an outspoken champion for diversity and inclusivity in classical music and the Early Music arena, more specifically. American Originals, his collaboration with period instrument ensemble Agave, was nominated for a 2022 Grammy Award.
Reginald Mobley returns to Chicago to perform with Music of the Baroque this month. Learn more HERE.
