Composer Ross Patterson holds a BA in music from Hampshire College, where he studied music composition with Randall McClellan, Allen Bonde, and  composer and author Jan Swafford.  He pursued graduate study at the University of Washington in Seattle, studying primarily with renowned composer and teacher William Bergsma, and contemporary music and theory with trombonist Stuart Dempster, composer and clarinetist William O. Smith of the Dave Brubeck group, and theorist John Rahn. There, he received his Master of Music degree  (M.M.) in composition for Twilight Songs,  a choral cycle for chorus and small orchestra on poetry by Donald Justice. Other music studies included oboe with Frank Charnley and Stephen Hammer, and voice with Sherry Bruce and Erma Mellinger among others.

 Ross began at a very young age playing music by ear on a toy piano. Later, with lessons on a real piano, he began improvising his first compositions of  "monster movie" music. In high school, he took up the oboe with the band, but his primary interest was in becoming an artist and he pursued art, science, and writing for which he won awards and a scholarship to St. Paul's School Advanced Studies Program. It was there in the Creative Arts Class, that he did his final project in music rather than art, (thinking that he wouldn't be creating music again) and was one of 3 students who he took Honors in the class. This led to a full scholarship at Hampshire College, where he studied film briefly, in the hope of integrating all of his creative endeavors. Confronted by the cost of film making, and disenchanted with the art program, he turned to his growing love of composing. He also studied relativity physics, which also fostered a deep interest in metaphysics. He managed to link music to his basic studies in developmental psychology and education, and anthropology, and graduated with his first piano sonata, Pleiades.  His works have been presented by University of Washington, New City Theater, and Washington Composers Forum. He served on the board of the Washington Composers Forum as Treasurer and Vice President. He was a tenor with the Seattle Symphony Chorale for 10 years and served a term on the board. He performed with them in several recordings of Ravel, Hanson, Mendelssohn, and a world premiere of  Henri Lazarof's Choral Symphony (No. 3), and soundtracks to Highlander 2 and Columbus: The Discovery, all with Seattle Symphony. Choreographed choral collaborations with the Pacific Northwest Ballet included works of Handel, and Orff's Carmina Burana. Some conductors he performed with in choral works include Gerard Schwarz, Christopher Kendall, Abraham Kaplan, Krzysztof  Penderecki, Robert Shaw, Margaret Hillis, John Fiore, George Fiore, Richard Sparks, Melinda O'Neal, John Nelson, and Donald Runnicles.

He first got the opera bug when he heard Leonard Bernstein lecture on the "Great American Opera" which kindled his desire to write music for the stage. In 1995, he had his first chance observing firsthand  the inner workings of a professional opera company. He sang tenor in the auxiliary of the Seattle Opera Chorus in Gotterdammerung, from the 1995 Robert Israel production of Wagner's Ring Cycle. More performances as a chorister with Seattle Opera followed, in Carmen, La Traviata, and Turandot. Moving back to New Hampshire, he sang with the Dartmouth Handel Society for two years. After a long hiatus,  Ross began singing again in 2018. He joined the Keene Chorale, directed by Cailin Marcel Manson, in Verdi's Requiem, a work he had performed twice before with Seattle Symphony Chorale. He now serves as Treasurer. Performances followed with The Windham Orchestra in the chorus of Turandot, and he is delighted to be singing currently with Maesto Keelan and Tundi Productions  in the chorus of Tristan Und Isolde.

David Roberts, tenor, is proud to take part in Tundi's Wagner in Vermont project as a chorus member in Tristan und Isolde.   Singing in the chorus for Tundi's Turandot last year expanded my appreciation of the artistry and commitment that Hugh, Jenna and all the Tundi company bring to their performances.  David's experience includes chorus parts inIl Trovatore, Pirates of Penzance, andAmahl and the Night Visitors, and as a member of the West River Valley Chorus and Newfane Church choir.  He is fortunate to have Margery McCrum as a singing instructor.
