Matthew A. Robinson, Baritone

Acclaimed baritone Matthew A. Robinson has firmly established himself as one of the most talented singers in Central Pennsylvania.  With his rich voice, musicality, and commanding presence, he has become one of the most sought-after vocalists in both stage performance, concert, and sacred venues.

In demand as a concert soloist, Matthew has performed major works including Handel’s Messiah, Schubert’s Mass in G, Haydn’s Paukenmesse & The Creation, Mozart’s Coronation Mass and Requiem Mass, Fauré’s Requiem Mass, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.  In spring 2025, Robinson is slated to serve as baritone soloist in Dubois’ Seven Last Words of Christ in Lancaster, PA.

   An active recitalist, Mr. Robinson frequently coordinates and presents classical music recitals across the region.  Matthew has recently been appointed Managing Director of the revival of acclaimed classical concert series, Music Under the Dome, at Saint Patrick Cathedral in Harrisburg, PA, providing prominent classical music performances, as well as exposing the beautiful, sacred venue to the community.
