Jakub Józef Orliński is a Polish countertenor whose exceptional musicality and arresting stage presence have quickly established him as one of the most vibrant performers in the classical music scene. Born in 1990, Orliński emerged from Warsaw’s Fryderyk Chopin University of Music and continued his development at the revered Juilliard School in New York. His rise to prominence was meteoric, marked by major competition wins, such as the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 2016, and fueled by his passion for both early and contemporary music.

Orliński has captivated audiences worldwide with his agile and light voice, characterized by its rich timbre and emotive nuance. His album releases, which often focus on Baroque music, showcase his dedication to bringing historical works to life with fresh interpretations. Albums like "Anima Sacra" and "Facce d'amore" have received wide acclaim, further solidifying his place in the world of classical vocal music. His more recent releases, such as "Beyond," exemplify his commitment to exploring lesser-known Baroque composers like Cavalli and Netti, while "Farewells" sees him delving into the soulful realm of art songs, including pieces by Szymanowski and Czyż. Orliński has also shone in performances of Vivaldi's "Stabat Mater," a testament to his versatility and profound connection to the music he interprets. Off the stage, Orliński is an avid breakdancer, blending his love for music with the dynamism of dance, an intersection of interests that parallels the vigor he brings to his musical performances.
