Sebastian Myrus

The Munich-born bass Sebastian Myrus is one of the most sought-after Bach interpreters of his generation and works with renowned early music ensembles. He has a longstanding partnership with Vox Luminis, with whom he regularly appears at international festivals. His repertory reaches from polyphony to Classical and Romantic oratorios to contemporary music; however, Baroque music remains his greatest focus.

In the 2025/26 season he has appeared in concert with ensembles including the B’Rock Orchestra, Camerata Salzburg, cappella sollertia and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. His performances have taken him to the Paris and Cologne Philharmonies, Bozar in Brussels, the Concertgebouw Bruges, the Magdeburg Telemann Festival, the Festival Actus Humanus, and to the Bachfest Leipzig and the Salzburg Festival with Vox Luminis.

He collaborates regularly with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, the Netherlands Bach Society, Collegium Vocale Gent, Continuum, Ensemble Correspondances and the Ensemble Weser-Renaissance Bremen. He has also performed with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, the Munich Baroque Soloists, the Zürcher Barockorchester, Il Gardellino, Les Muffatti, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla, La Petite Bande and the Doha Baroque Ensemble. He has worked with conductors such as Marcus Creed, Philippe Herreweghe, Manfred Honeck, Kay Johannsen, Sigiswald Kuijken, Johannes Leertouwer, Reinbert de Leeuw, Enrico Onofri, Philippe Pierlot, Helmuth Rilling, Skip Sempé, Peter Van Heyghen and Jos van Veldhoven.

His discography includes an album of early Bach cantatas with Ensemble Correspondances under Sébastian Daucé (harmonia mundi) and a recording of Schütz’s Christmas Story with Vox Luminis (Ricercar). In January 2026 he released a recording of the complete Leipzig cantatas of Johann Ludwig Bach with capella sollertia and Johanna Soller, for which he also prepared a new musical edition in collaboration with the conductor; this recording won a Choc de Classica award.

Sebastian Myrus received his first musical training in the Windsbach Boys’ Choir, before studying singing at the University of Music and Theatre in Munich.
