Artist Bio:

Thomas J. Weis

Showing his vocal versatility, Dr. Thomas J. Weis has appeared as leading man in Kiss Me Kate and The
Music Man with The Heartland Festival in Platteville, Wisconsin, Grandpa Moss in Skylight Opera
Theater’s production of The Tender Land, which aired on Wisconsin PBS in January 2003, and as Bass
Soloist in Handel’s Messiah with the Milwaukee Symphony. Thomas has performed leading and secondary
roles with a wealth of operatic, oratorio and symphonic, and musical theatre companies in the Midwest and
across the country. Thomas has sung as Bass Soloist in Bach’s Magnificat, Haydn’s The Creation, Verdi’s
Requiem, Mozart’s Requiem, Dvorak’s Stabat Mater, Brahms’ Requiem, and more.
Rena Archwemety Beyer from The Capital Times, in a classical review of Dvorak’s Stabat Mater wrote,
“Weis gave a moving bass solo in ‘Fac ut ardeat cor meum’. From his strong entrance with the brass
section to the emotion he conveyed, his interpretation of the text was outstanding”.

Mr. Weis embodied the title role of Figaro in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Opera program’s Le
Nozze di Figaro of W.A. Mozart. In the Opera Review for the Wisconsin State Journal, Jay Rath stated
“As Figaro, Thomas Weis has a voice that is warm and mellow but with an edge like good black coffee”.
Thomas has been an active voice teacher and performer at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin for
the past eighteen years, offering recitals, master classes, and numerous faculty collaborations. Dr. Weis is a
member of NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing), and serves on the Wisconsin NATS
board. Dr. Weis served as vocal coordinator and was honored to be the director of the Carroll University
Men’s Chorus, which he founded the fall semester of 2014.
