Haitham Haidar

Haitham Haidar is a Lebanese-Palestinian Canadian tenor based in Montreal. A proud graduate of Yale's Institute of Sacred Music, McGill University, and the University of British Columbia, Haitham is praised for his 'musical and linguistic versatility’ and his 'bright’ and ‘innately lyrical voice.’ Haitham has recently been seen as the Evangelist in Schütz’s Weinachtshistorie with Folger Consort, Pilatus in Pärt’s Passio, and as a soloist with Apollo’s Fire, Les Délices, Arion Baroque Orchestra, and Conspirare. Haitham’s performance motto is 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.
