Maximilian Lawrie is a young British tenor with a diverse experience of singing and musicianship, being an experienced choral and consort singer, consort soloist, and operatic tenor. Maximilian is currently studying in his final year of the Royal Academy of Music’s opera course, under the pupilage of Giles Underwood. Since starting at the Royal Academy of Music during his Masters, Maximilian partook in the final concert of Iain Ledingham’s 10 year Bach project, a St Matthew Passion under Trevor Pinnock, and provided the music for a lecture-recital in the Royal Academy of Music Museum. He has received masterclasses and coachings from active professionals including Brindley Sherratt, Toby Spence and Christian Gerhaher. Outside of education, Maximilian performed the role of Don José for two productions of Carmen: for Rogue Opera in London and Bournemouth, and for Cambridge University Opera Society in Cambridge. Most recently, Maximilian reprised the role of Sempronio in Lo Speziale for New Chamber Opera, at the British Ambassador’s residence at the Hôtel de Charost in Paris. Other highlights included a tour with Eton College Choir to Hong Kong, where he performed the tenor solos in Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms under the baton of Leonard Slatkin and the Hong Kong Philharmonic, also broadcast live on radio.
