His season continues with a residency at The Banff Centre, as the soloist in Deutsches Requiem with Opera National de Bordeaux, a recital with the New York Festival of Song, and Handel’s Messiah for the US Naval Academy and The Florida Orchestra.

Of particular note, last season Brancy debuted with the LA Philharmonic in a new production of Meredith Monk’s ATLAS, directed by MacArthur Genius grant recipient, Yuval Sharon. Of the performance, Alex Ross of the New Yorker said “Brancy infused Magnussen with a frothing intensity”.

He made a return to Oper Frankfurt for a new production of Olga Neuwirth’s Lost Highway directed again by Yuval Sharon and conducted by Karsten Januschke.
