Garrett Eucker
Tenor
Brooklyn-based tenor Garrett Eucker enjoys a career as both a soloist and an ensemble member, performing repertoire that spans the centuries, from medieval to contemporary chamber music. This season, he eagerly anticipates engagements with prominent groups such as Apollo’s Fire, The New York Philharmonic, Pomerium, La Grande Bande, Incantare, and Elm City Consort. The previous season was highlighted by his collaborations with Parthenia Viol Consort, Beth Morrison Projects, Incantare, The New Consort, and The Choir of Trinity Wall Street. Additionally, he performed as the tenor soloist in Rossini's "Petite Messe Solennelle" in Cambridge, UK, alongside his sister, soprano Jessica Eucker.
Past seasons were marked by more than 250 concerts with The Rose Ensemble and a range of programs featuring airs de coeur, works by Charpentier, and cantatas by G. Bononcini with La Grande Bande. Garrett has also made guest appearances with Piffaro, Chatham Baroque, ChamberQUEER's Pride Festival at National Sawdust, and the Bard Music Festival Chorus.
A regular contributor to church choirs, Garrett lends his voice to congregations at St. Thomas 5th Avenue, St. Bart's, and Trinity Wall St, among others. In his downtime, he delights in the art of close harmony with colleagues at gatherings with moments of madrigals, jazz vocal arrangements, or barbershop tags. Garrett dedicates each performance opportunity to his non-musical parents, whose unwavering support—sparked by their church organist's suggestion—compelled them to chauffeur him from New Jersey to the Metropolitan Opera. There, he performed as a boy soprano in standout roles and as part of the children's chorus from the ages of 4 to 12.
