Tijl Faveyts, a Flemish bass singer, will perform with London’s Philharmonia Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall as part of the Great Performers series on Monday, November 19. Faveyts became internationally known in 2006 when he performed Sarastro (Die Zauberflöte) at the age of 26 under Daniel Harding’s baton at the Festival Aix-en-Provence. George Loomis praised his interpretation of the Old Hebrew in Saint-Saëns’s “Samson et Dalila” in the New York Times (05th May 2009): „Tijl Faveyts delivered the old Hebrew’s utterances smoothly and with a handsome bass voice.“ Faveyts’ US debut will be as Doktor in Berg’s Wozzeck with London Philharmonia under Esa-Pekka Salonen’s baton. He will first perform in the Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley on November 10 and in the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on November 13. Faveyts has performed at the Vlaamse Opera Ghent, the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence, the Wiener Festwochen, the Theater an der Wien, Musikverein Vienna, the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Nederlandse Opera Amsterdam, the Staatsoper Stuttgart and the Israeli Opera Tel Aviv. He studied at the Conservatory in Brussels and at the University of Music in Vienna with Prof. Ralf Döring and Prof. Robert Holl.
