Kiho Sohn

Korean-born tenor, Kiho Sohn, praised as “naturally theatrical and compelling” (Opera Canada, 2022), is completing his Master of Music at UBC with Peter Barcza. Trained also by Nancy Hermiston, Melanie Kruger, and J. Patrick Raftery, Kiho brings charisma and depth to every role. His diverse repertoire spans Fenton in Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor, the Prince in Rusalka (Czech Republic), and Don Curzio in Le nozze di Figaro with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. At UBC, he captivated as the Schoolmaster in The Cunning Little Vixen and as the tenor soloist in City Opera’s Song From The Uproar.

His compelling presence and refined musicianship continually engage and inspire audiences.

I’ve been teaching music at my church since before the pandemic, and what I love most is seeing students light up when they really get something—or better yet, when they start exploring techniques on their own just because they’re curious. For me, the biggest goal is simple: I want kids to have fun making music. If they’re enjoying themselves, everything else tends to follow.
