A young tenor who offers genuine and dynamic performances, Dylan Schang is making his mark with each passing engagement. Dylan is a graduate of Luther College (teacher Edwin Andereck), and Louisiana State University (Robert Grayson and Paul Groves), where he was able to sing a variety of great roles from the standard operatic canon. Dylan has sung with such companies as Central City Opera, Sarasota Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera, Opera Company of Middlebury, and Opéra Louisiane. This season he returns to Sarasota Opera as a Studio Artist performing the role of Gimme the Ax in the children's opera Rootabaga Country, as well as Gastone in La traviata and Tanzmeister in Ariadne auf Naxos. Though his work focuses mostly on the operatic stage, Dylan is also a passionate performer of Lieder, and has offered recitals including Lieder cycles such as Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte, Brahms' Zigeunerlieder, Liszt’s Drei Lieder aus Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell, and Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin.
