Canadian Bass-baritone Trevor Bowes was born in Victoria and studied at the University of Toronto, the Banff Centre for the Arts, the Britten-Pears Young Artists Programme and at the RSAMD with the gracious support of the Canadian-Scottish Philharmonic Foundation.
He has performed across his native Canada in opera, oratorio, recital and chamber music and has been praised for his "light but very dramatic voice" and "great potential as a singing actor". (Opera Canada). His operatic roles include The title role in "Le Nozze di Figaro", Leporello (Don Giovanni), Don Alfonso (Cosi Fan Tutte), Death (Savitri), Cadmus (Semele), Leandre (L'amour des Trois Oranges) amongst many others. He has appeared in the Aldeburgh festival as Trulove in Stravinsky's "The Rake's Progress" as well as in Purcell's "King Arthur" and "The Faerie Queen". Other major concert appearances include Bach's Cantata 71 under Helmuth Rilling in the Toronto International Bach Festival and the thief in Grieg's Peer Gynt with the RSNO. Trevor has also performed in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Hamburg as Fedro in Early Music Russia's production of Boris Goudenow (Johann Mattheson's 1710 version) and in Strasbourg with Le Parlement de Musique, as Nanni in Haydn's "L'Infedelta Delusa".
In 2008 Trevor joined the chorus of Opera North in Leeds where he has performed and covered various roles, most recently Despard in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Ruddigore". In addition to his full-time opera chorus commitment he keeps active as a concert singer and has in the past year sung Sarastro (Die Zauberfloete) for the Ryedale Festival and Aeneas (Dido and Aeneas) for Voices Vancouver.
He is very pleased to be in Glasgow with the chorus of Opera North working on "The Adventures of Mr.Broucek" in conjunction with Scottish Opera, and even more pleased to sing a recital whilst in town!
