Michael Hawes

Austin based GRAMMY® nominated Singer, Trumpeter and Pianist, Michael Hawes enjoys a multifaceted performance career. Equally comfortably in front of a piano sharing a vocal recital, as a member of a chamber vocal ensemble, or in the trumpet section of a symphony orchestra or brass quintet, his passion lies in collaboration and heartfelt performances of beautiful music. Recent performances have taken him throughout Europe to London, Madrid, Paris, Jerusalem, as well as to Seoul, South Korea and Taipei, Taiwan. Michael frequently sings with 3 time GRAMMY® winning Crossing Choir, known for the groundbreaking programming and commissioning of new works, as well as GRAMMY® nominated Clarion Choir, Skylark Vocal Ensemble, Conspirare, and others. He was a member of Axiom Brass, an award winning touring Brass Quintet, similarly known for adventurous programming and passionate desire to add to the Brass Quintet art form, and performed and recorded with them, while living in Chicago. Currently receiving his Doctorate in Musical Arts at the University of Texas, Michael is in the midst of starting a new ensemble, called “One Voice Ensemble” that focuses on art song, performing music by a wide array of composers, from Florence Price, to Randy Newman while also performing and commissioning works by living composers of different backgrounds and genres.
