American Countertenor Reginald L. Mobley fully intended to speak his art through watercolors and oil pastels until circumstance demanded that his own voice should speak for itself. Since reducing his visual color palette to the black and white of a score, he’s endeavored to open up a wider spectrum onstage.
Mobley is highly sought after for his interpretations of Baroque, Classical, and modern repertoire. He regularly appears as guest with a wide range of Baroque ensembles, festivals, and orchestras in the United States, appearing at venues such as Carnegie Hall and Walt Disney Concert Hall with organizations including Agave Baroque, Seraphic Fire, Bach Collegium San Diego, San Francisco Early Music Society, Opera Lafayette, Chatham Baroque, Washington Bach Consort, Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Vancouver, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Early Music Seattle, and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, as well as the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, and New York Philharmonic. In Europe, Mobley has been invited to perform with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, Holland Baroque, Academy of Ancient Music, OH! in Poland, and Orchester Wiener Akademie. He recently performed the role of Ottone in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea in the Budapest Festival Orchestra’s production at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, MUPA (Budapest), and at Teatro di Vicenza. Reginald Mobley’s recordings have received great acclaim.
In 2021, he released American Originals with AGAVE on the Acis label. It received a GRAMMY® nomination. In 2023 he released his solo recording debut with ALPHA Classics, which also received a GRAMMY® nomination.
