Who, me?
Haitham Haidar is a Lebanese-Palestinian Canadian tenor, currently based in Montreal. He is a proud graduate of Yale's Institute of Sacred Music, McGill's Schulich School of Music, and the University of British Columbia.
Haitham is praised for his 'musical and linguistic versatility’ and his 'bright’ and ‘innately lyrical voice.’ Haitham enjoys performing oratorio, opera, and chamber music across North America, Europe, and Asia. He is a proud member of Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble, a group that develops opportunity for music excellence and diversity to exist in one space.
Haitham’s approach to performance has always been humanity first. Being an Arab immigrant in North America comes with its unique set of oppressive challenges and it is because of that and what he sees around him in the field, that he aims to touch people’s hearts with music and compassion and make change in the world the best way he knows how.
