Jacob Gramit, baritone

Originally from Treaty 6 territory, the traditional lands of First Nations and Métis peoples, Jacob Gramit is a settler baritone, specializing in the music of the baroque and renaissance.  After graduating from the University of British Columbia (BMus, 2012), Jacob studied Early Music at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, Netherlands (MMus, 2018).   Highlights of his time abroad included studies with Pascal Bertin, Peter Kooij, Michael Chance, Dorothee Mields, Robin Blaze, and Lenie van den Heuvel, and projects with Ton Koopman, Charles Toet, Cappella Amsterdam, and Holland Baroque.

Balancing performance with artistic curation, Jacob both sang with and served both as General and Artistic Manager of Vancouver’s musica intima from 2018 to 2025, during which time the ensemble gained national recognition for its bold and innovative programming, including the JUNO-nominated, WCMA-winning NAGAMO album with composer Andrew Balfour (2022).  His second home was Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver, where he sang for fifteen years and was Co-Artistic Director of the Summer Festival of Sacred Music from 2015 to 2021 with composer and choirmaster Rupert Lang.  

As a chorister, Jacob has sung with many of Canada’s leading ensembles, including the Vancouver Chamber Choir (Jon Washburn, Kari Turunen), Pro Coro Canada (Trent Worthington), and the Elmer Iseler Singers (Lydia Adams), and looks forward to this season with the Toronto Chamber Choir (Lucas Harris) and the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir (Ivars Taurins).  He has performed frequently both as soloist and chorister under Alexander Weimann with the Pacific Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, and Cappella Borealis, and was selected to participate in a performance of Spem in Alium with the Tallis Scholars (under Peter Philips), presented by Carnegie Hall.
