Jose Barbasa, countertenor, is a Hawaii native who has called San Francisco home for the last seven years. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Voice from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa and later attended San Francisco State University, where he received his Master of Music Degree in Vocal Performance. It was during his time at State that he discovered his passion for early music. Moreover, with the guidance of his voice teacher, Nikolas Nackley, he successfully completed a graduate recital in his new countertenor voice with works that ranged from Bach to Debussy. He also performed the role of Pane from Cavalli’s La Calisto, after only having sung as a countertenor for seven months. He is thrilled to be in his first season with California Bach Society and thankful to Paul for giving him this opportunity.

Julian Kusnadi, tenor, has performed in and directed a variety of Bay Area artistic projects since 2007, including choral ensembles (Volti, Endersnight, Convivium, Stanford Chamber Chorale), church music programs (Cathedral of Christ the Light, St. Mary the Virgin), theater productions (TheatreWorks New Works Festival, New York International Fringe Festival, Ram's Head Society), a cappella groups (Stanford Fleet Street Singers), barbershop quartets (Brannigan, international top-10 Artistic License), and the truly eclectic (Luciano Berio's Sinfonia, a Super Bowl commercial with Seal...). Along the way, he's been fortunate to collaborate with the likes of Clerestory, ODC, Kronos Quartet, and many active composers/arrangers. In 2015, Julian co-founded the Fog City Singers, a non-profit San Francisco-based men's ensemble that achieved top-10 finishes in each of its appearances at the International Barbershop Chorus Contest, was featured at the 2019 California Choral Directors Association state conference, and will present a movement+voice collaboration with professional ballet in San Francisco's Z Space this April.

Julian earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Stanford University in 2012. After initial forays into social welfare and law, he presently spends his days at mission-driven startups, previously in education technology and now with Forward, working to build the first healthcare system at scale.
