Terry Wey Born 1985 in Glasgow into a family with musical
traditions, Terry Wey began voice training at an
early age – initially in the Vienna Boys’ Choir, and
then under the direction of Silvija Vojnić-Purchar,
Kurt Equiluz and Christine Schwarz at the Konservatorium
Wien Privatuniversität, where he
also studied piano performance. As the winner of
various competitions and recipient of scholarships
from the Migros-Genossenschaftsbund and Kärntner-Sparkasse
(Wörthersee-Musikstipendium), he
quickly undertook collaboration with the Clemencic
Consort, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Les Arts Florissants
and other leading early music ensembles, which
afforded him the opportunity to have contact with
such conductors as William Christie, Thomas Hengelbrock,
Marc Minkowski and Michael Hofstetter.
He has taken part in festivals and concerts at major
musical centers all over the world (Musikverein in
Vienna, Barbican Centre in London, Festspielhaus
in Baden-Baden, Lincoln Center in New York, etc.).
He has prepared diverse interpretations of operatic
roles – from Ruggiero (A. Vivaldi, Orlando
furioso) to Oberon (B. Britten, A Midsummer Night’s
Dream), which he has presented at such theaters as
the Staatsoper in Stuttgart, Teatro Real in Madrid
and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, under
stage directors Nicolas Brieger, Benjamin Lazar and
Pier Luigi Pizzi. Among the artist’s major successes
in recent years have been his performances at Theater
an der Wien in 2009 (with Christine Schäfer
in G. F. Handel’s Partenope, under the direction of
Christophe Rousset), as well as his debut last year at
the Salzburg Whitsun Festival (N. Jommelli’s Betulia
liberata, under the direction of Riccardo Muti).
Fascinated with Renaissance polyphony, he founded
the vocal ensemble Cinquecento, with which he has
recorded four albums for the Hyperion label. The
artist has also recorded for Oehms Classics, Carus,
Virgin Classics and Naïve.
