Aaron Wells

Baritone

Professional Summary

Distinguished by dedicated vocal training, I possess a light, resonant baritone voice capable of lyrical phrasing and warm, artful interpretation. I've made numerous solo appearances in church and secular settings, performed in community stage productions, and have led several church choirs. My passion for singing and artistic curiosity has led me to explore the wonderful art song traditions in numberous cultures. I have a particular soft spot for the art and folk songs of Wales, a little country in the UK whence I trace some of my heritage.
