Benjamin Laur is a composer and baritone currently working
towards a Bachelor of Music at Central Michigan University
where he studies composition with Dr. David Gillingham and
vocal performance with Dr. Eric Tucker.
His music has
been called "soaring" and "neo-romantic" for its traditional
but intuitive treatment of harmony and for its strong
melodies. Laur's
composition portfolio includes pieces for solo voice with
piano, solo voice with chamber ensemble, instrumental chamber ensemble, and choral pieces.
Studying voice
as a lyric baritone Laur has enjoyed a number of baritone
lead roles including Fred/Petrucchio in Cole Porter's
Kiss Me, Kate and Papageno in Mozart's Die
Zauberflote.
