About

Dr. Barrett Radziun reaches audiences by combining his "silvery tenor" (The Berkshire Edge) with a stage presence that is "elegant and profound…with poise and maturity that betrays his youth" (The Berkshire Edge). Critics hail the Minnesota native as "brilliant in his solo performances" (Cleveland Classical), "effortless in rendering sensitivity" (Boston Musical Intelligencer), and as a "rising star" (The Millbrook Independent). Following his 2017 Meyerson Symphony Center debut as tenor soloist in Handel's Messiah with Dallas Bach Society, the Dallas Morning News reported, "Star of the evening was Barrett Radziun, his lyric tenor bright and clear, his diction impeccable, his words and phrases vividly colored and shaped."

As an ensemble singer, Radziun has performed with Orpheus Chamber Singers, Verdigris Ensemble, Dallas Bach Society, Incarnatus, Tennessee Chamber Chorus, Dallas Chamber Choir, Band of Voices, and GRAMMY-nominated South Dakota Chorale, the latter with whom he has recorded on the Pentatone label. Radziun currently teaches on the voice faculty at Texas Christian University and Walnut Grove High School, and he previously taught at East Texas A&M University. He also maintains an active private voice studio. In addition to his musical endeavors, Radziun is an avid baker. He runs the popular baking Instagram @TheTenorChef.
