Dutch / American Baritone Ryan Hugh Ross holds degrees from Southwest Minnesota State University, California State University-Long Beach, and Wales International Academy of Voice where he studied with world renowned tenor Dennis O’Neill, CBE.  He is in demand on the operatic stage and concert performances.

​

Ryan's interest in history, combined with his passion for new music, led to the launching of a 5 part concert/lecture series entitled “Rediscovered Beauty: Suppressed Composers”. This was dedicated to the generation of musicians, artists, and composers who were suppressed and silenced by the 3rd Reich. The success of this festival led Ryan to create the Rediscovered Beauty Organisation for Suppressed Composers.

​

Other work in this field includes the US premiere of Two Songs for Baritone and Orchestra by suppressed Viennese composer Julius Bürger (whose works he champions) in Marshall, Minnesota as part of the Voices of Exile Festival at Southwest Minnesota State University. This took place the final week of October 2016. Ryan was also a guest performer in May 2017 for the inauguration of the Exil.Arte Centre for Suppressed Composers in Vienna, Austria where he performed Bürger’s Goodbye ,Vienna.
