“The immensely gifted bass-baritone Davóne Tines has won acclaim, and advanced the field of classical music.” The New York Times

“Davóne Tines is electrifying”, The Guardian

Heralded as an artist “changing what it means to be a classical singer” (The New Yorker), Davóne Tines brings his powerful, genre-defying voice to Harrogate.

A Grammy-nominated creator and performer, Tines works at the intersection of opera, spirituals, gospel, contemporary classical and protest music, crafting performances that explore identity, resilience and shared humanity. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut in 2024 in Adams’s El Niño and his accolades include the 2024 Chanel Next Prize, the Sphinx Medal of Excellence, and the 2025 Harvard Arts Medal. He is currently the Barbican’s Artist in Residence, performing pioneering pieces with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

The programme interweaves music from the Western European classical tradition (with pieces by Handel and Bach), alongside African American spirituals and contemporary compositions in a broad mix of styles and genres.

The concert will last c.60 minutes with no interval

Fearless. Transformative. Electrifying.
