Timothy Burris has performed throughout Europe and the US, both as a soloist and an accompanist. He has appeared in concert with singers Jennifer Lane, Julianne Baird, and Robert Holl, among others, as well as with instrumentalists such as Robert Hill, Brent Wissick, and Richard Luby. In addition to solo recordings, he has done CD projects with Jennifer Lane, Tamara Matthews, Timothy Neill Johnson, New York Baroque, and the Koorprojekt Rotterdam, among others. He can be heard playing Bach's c minor Prelude in "Shock Act", the prize-winning short-film DVD by Seth Grossman. Mr Burris taught lute for six years at the Royal Flemish Conservatory in Antwerp, and currently teaches at the Portland Conservatory of Music in Maine. His foreign-language talents include fluency in German, French, and Dutch, and excellent facility in Spanish and Italian. His linguistic skills enhance his abilities as an accompanist, as well as adding to his effectiveness in coaching singers and instrumentalists in educational events such as master classes. He has an especial interest in French poetry, something he nurtured during more than two years of private study with French professors at the universities of Amsterdam and Leiden. His dissertation research was done primarily at Dresden’s Sächsische Landesbibliothek, in the final stages with the generous support of a Fulbright fellowship (to the Technical University of Dresden).
