The Musicians

Austrian baritone Peter Edelmann began his musical studies with his father, 

the renowned opera basso Otto Edelmann, at the Vienna Musikhochschule.

In 1989 he won the first prize, the Mozart prize, and six other special awards

at the International Belvedere Competition in Vienna. Concert appearances

followed in Budapest, Vienna, Bozen, Salzburg, and the Wexford Opera

Festival in Ireland. In December 1989 he made his debut with the Hamburg

State Opera, and he has been a member ofthe Deutsche Oper Berlin since

1990, singing such important roles as Papageno in Mozart’s Magic Flute,

Wolfram in Wagner’s Parsifal, and Figaro in Rossini’s The Barber ofSeville.

Peter Edelmann has presented lieder recitals in Germany, Austria, Italy,

France, Japan and the United States. Since 1990 he has appeared regularly

at the Newport Music Festival in Rhode Island. He has been a guest soloist

with the Dresdner Staatsoper, the Munich Opera, the Wiener Vollcsoper and

Staatsoper, the Graz Opera, and the Morbisch Operetta Festival. He has made

many recordings for television, video, and compact disc, the most recent

ofwhich is a duet CD with Paul Armin Edelmann on the Arte Nova label.

Paul Armin Edelmann was bom in Vienna. He gained his early experience with singing as a member ofthe Vienna Choir Boys. Like his brother,

Peter, he studied singing with his father, Otto Edelmann, graduating from

the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna in 1992. From 1992 

to 1997, Paul Armin Edelmann had a fixed engagement at the Stadttheater

Koblenz, where he built up a repertory oftwenty-five lyric baritone roles 

in operas and operettas. In 1997 he returned to Vienna, making it the headquarters from which he traveled for guest performances in the Bremer

Theater, the Landestheater Salzburg, the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden,

the Cologne City Opera, and the Seefestspiele Morbisch. He enjoyed great

success meanwhile in Vienna, singing in the Mozart Festival Schonbrunn,

5
the Wiener Staatsoper, the Vienna Festival, and the Schwetzinger Festival.

In November 1998, Edelmann sang a concert and television broadcast at the

Vatican in honor of Pope John Paul 11. In the upcoming concert seasons,

Edelmann’s busy schedule includes opera performances at the Frankfurt

Opera (The Magic Flute), the Mozarteum Salzburg, the Brucknerhaus Linz

(Lieder einesfahrenden Gesellen), the Konzerthaus Dortmund (Die Fledermaus),

the San Diego Opera, and the New National Theatre ofTokyo, as well as song

recitals in Grafenegg, Tokyo, and New York.

Pianist Thomas Hrynkiw began his studies with Joseph Jacobs and Anne

Leva and later studied with Dora Zaslavsky at the Manhattan School of Music.

He has been hailed as a pianist of dramatic power and poetry. At age nineteen, he won a competition in which the first prize was a performance of a

Tchaikovsky piano concerto with Leopold Stokowski conducting. In 1967 

Hrynldw won the gold medal at the Geneva Competition. Not long thereafter

he won the Frank Huntington Beebe Award, the Harold Bauer Award, and

the National Music Teachers Association Award. He has played concerts in

important venues in both Europe and the United States, including performances at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and Philadelphia’s Constitution

Hall. He appears annually at the Newport Festival in Rhode Island and serves 

as music advisor, senior artist, and vocal director to the festival director,

Mark P. Malkovich in. Highly sought after as a chamber musician, Thomas
