Äneas Humm

Äneas Humm is a Swiss baritone who’s carved out a pretty impressive place for himself in the world of classical music—and he’s only in his early 30s. Born in 1995 and raised in Wädenswil, Humm got his start as a six-year-old in the Zürcher Sängerknaben (Zurich Boys’ Choir), and his talent quickly marked him as a child prodigy. He studied at the University of the Arts Bremen and the famed Juilliard School in New York, picking up experience and accolades along the way. Since then, he’s sung leading roles at major opera houses—Weimar, St. Gallen, Karlsruhe, even debuting at the Hamburg State Opera and the Vienna Staatsoper—and developed a rep for both Mozart classics (think Papageno and Masetto) and standout parts in contemporary works like John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra.

But Humm isn’t just a powerhouse on the opera stage. He’s a sought-after concert artist, regularly performing with top orchestras and at festivals across Europe and the U.S., from Lucerne and Amsterdam to New York’s Weill Recital Hall. He’s just as passionate about art song, with recitals that have taken him to Berlin’s Bellevue Palace (by invitation of the German president!) and major festivals in Bonn, Bucharest, and Davos. His recent albums—like Embrace (winner of the Opus Klassik for Young Artist of the Year), Libertas (exploring the theme of freedom through Beethoven, Schubert, and beyond), and collaborations on forgotten works by composers like Willy Heinz Müller—showcase both his versatility and curiosity as an artist. He’s based in Berlin these days, bringing a thoughtful and outspoken voice to both music and social issues.
