Baritone David Tinervia is recognized for performances throughout the United States and Canada, appearing with leading ensembles and artists in a versatile body of work spanning early music, contemporary works by living composers, art song, musical theatre, and the core operatic and orchestral canon.

Recent appearances include chamber performances of Sondheim and Schubert with Yo-Yo Ma in Great Barrington, MA, as well as programs of Britten and Vaughan Williams with longtime friend and mentor, Benjamin Luxon. Tinervia has also appeared regularly as a soloist with Bach Collegium San Diego under the direction of Ruben Valenzuela, contributing to studio recordings of Bach’s Christ lag in Todesbanden BWV 4 and Handel’s Dixit Dominus on their newest album, A Sonic Youth, released last year.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Tinervia has performed with many of New England's premiere organizations, including Boston Lyric Opera, Handel and Haydn Society, WGBH, Boston Baroque, and Emmanuel Music. He served as the Lorraine Hunt Lieberson Fellow with Emmanuel Music from 2017–2018 and continues to perform regularly with the ensemble: Soloist highlights with Emmanuel Music include John Harbison’s Fifth Symphony; Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, St. Matthew Passion, St. John Passion, and St. Mark Passion; and frequent appearances in their Bach Cantata Series. Tinervia is a winner of the Boston District Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and a two-time fellow of the Tanglewood Music Center, where he debuted as the Traveler in Britten’s Curlew River in collaboration with the Mark Morris Dance Group.

Tinervia holds degrees from McGill University, where he studied with Sanford Sylvan. While remaining deeply committed to an active musical life, he will graduate from medical school in May of 2026 and begin residency in Emergency Medicine at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, serving as a physician and officer in the United States Air Force Medical Corps.
