Michael St. Peter

Tenor Michael St. Peter, frequently engaged in the classical arts scene in Chicago, is known for his “…warm, beautiful and true” singing (Chicago Classical Review). A former Gerdine Young artist with Opera Theatre St. Louis, and a 2nd Prize Winner of the 2018 McCammon Voice Competition, his previous season highlights include roles with Tulsa Opera (Don Ottavio/Don Giovanni), and Chicago’s Haymarket Opera Company (The Moore/Dragon of Wantley, Acis/Acis and Galatea, Colin/L’amant anonyme, Aminta/Euridice). He last appeared as soloist with Music of the Baroque in May 2026.

Michael St. Peter's concert work as a soloist includes his 2018 Carnegie Hall debut in Handel’s Messiah, with the Cecilia Chorus of New York, the Mozart Requiem with the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra, Messenger/Ensemble in Handel’s Theodora, and most recently as Solo/Ensemble in Bach’s B Minor Mass with the Madison Bach Musicians. As a Chicago local, he regularly sings with professional choirs here and around the country, including Grant Park Symphony Chorus, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Apollo’s Fire, and The Thirteen. A lover of Baroque and contemporary music alike, he also sings with the William Ferris Chorale, Stare at the Sun, and CHROMA.
