He has recently performed with the Auburn Symphony, Camellia Symphony, North State Symphony, Clerestory, Shasta Symphony, Pocket Opera, Marin Symphony, and West Edge Opera. He has also performed with Sacramento Opera, Sacramento Choral Society, and with numerous churches throughout Northern California to enhance their liturgical services. Hailed by the San Francisco Classical Voice for his “powerful” and “accurate” performances, by the Sacramento Press for his “gorgeous solos,” and by the Sacramento Bee for his “polished baritone,” Mr. Yoder has performed over 20 operatic roles, including Leporello and Masetto in Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Figaro in Mozart’s Le Nozze de Figaro, Zurga in Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers, Silvio in Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, and Marcello in Puccini’s La Boheme.

In concert, Mr. Yoder has delighted audiences with his numerous performances of the bass solos in Handel’s Messiah, the Requiems of Mozart, Duruflé, and Fauré, and in the Coronation Mass, Great Mass in C, and Missa Brevis in F of Mozart, Achillas in Handel’s Julius Caesar, Bach’s St. John’s Passion, and many Bach cantatas among other masterworks. He has also spent more than three decades proudly singing among the ranks of his fellow basses in numerous choruses.

Mr. Yoder is a proud member of AGMA. When not singing, he can be found cycling, reading until the early morning, or driving to yet another rehearsal.
