Tynan Davis, mezzo-soprano

Tynan Davis is a playful vocalist and human who is elated to be making music with Agarita. Last year she crossed the US with performances of Aaron Copland’s In The Beginning with Artefact Ensemble in Louisville, KY and Georgetown, DC; What Makes it Great w/ Rob Kapilow at Stanford University, and Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin with NYC’s Heartbeat Opera. She won a Grammy Award in 2019 for Best Opera Recording w/ Boston Modern Orchestra Project, singing a drunken cellar rat named Rita in Tobias Picker’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. She’s toured with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and the 25th anniversary North American tour of Phantom of the Opera. Her solo jazz album TYNAN is available on most streaming platforms, and is full of happy tunes you’ll know and love. Other favorite musical collaborations include Roomful of Teeth, Skylark Ensemble & The All’s Well Sisters. Tynan was born in San Antonio, is an alumna of the Children's Chorus of SA, and has previously performed with SOLI Chamber Ensemble, Opera San Antonio, and the San Antonio Symphony. This is her second world premiere with Ethan Wickman. She is also a passionate teacher and clinician, the mother of a ridiculously cute kid, and the wife of an insanely creative Broadway Properties Maker. She lives in NYC and misses breakfast tacos very much.
