“Countertenor Jay Carter was simply marvelous. With a voice of sweet, boyish purity, he ardently sang texts by Rumi that snaked up and down an Asian-tinged scale.” 

 

 

Tom Huizenga, Washington Post

“When charged with voicing angels, kings and gods, call countertenor Jay Carter.”

Libby Hanssen, KC Studio

American countertenor Jay Carter has gained recognition as one of the nation’s finest. A frequent collaborator with period and modern ensembles, Carter is recognized as a leading interpreter of late Baroque repertoire and has been lauded for his luminous tone, stylish interpretations, and clarion delivery.
