Born and educated in Australia, where he was a recognized soloist and accompanist, Kenneth Griffiths furthered his musical studies in London and Munich. During his years in the latter city he was strongly influenced by the teaching of the great Lieder and opera singer Gerhard Hiisch. ]Since 1976 he has held positions in the United States at Indiana University, the University of Tennessee and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati where he currently is Professor of Music and Director of Accompanying. In this position he is responsible for the students in the Master of Music degree in Accompanying, teaches vocal literature survey classes, vocal accompanying seminars, and "Russian for Singers and Coaches." He has become increasingly involved in the promotion and performance of Australian and Russian vocal music. In 1992 he joined the faculty of the Tanglewood Festival Music Center's Vocal and Accompanying program where he teaches a "Russian for Singers" class as well as presenting lectures and coaching singers and pianists in recital literature. During the winter of 1993 he spent a three-month academic sabbatical leave studying Russian language and literature at the University of Kharkov in the Ukraine. At the 1993 Tanglewood Festival he provided translations for, and performed with, the British mezzo-soprano Sarah Walker in an all-Russian song recital. In the 1997 festival he appeared as the reciter in the American premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina's major vocal work, "Now Always Snow." Mr. Griffiths concertizes frequently with artists including University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory faculty, as well as Kathleen Battle, Susan Dunn, John Garrison, Elizabeth Mannion, Susanne Mentzer, Jessye Norman, Stanford Olsen, David Shifrin, Benita Valente and Delores Ziegler. In addition to his appearances in recital he has also performed as reciter in Schonberg's Ode to Napoleon with the La Salle Quartet and Stephan Litwin in Cincinnati, Basel, and at the Ravinia and Salzburg Festivals prior to their Deutsche Grammophon recording in 1985. Mr. Griffiths has also appeared in performances of this work with the Vermeer Quartet and Peter Serkin in Chicago and the Arditti Quartet and Stephan Litwin in Stony Brook, New York. In recent years he has become a sought-after panelist and masterclass teacher throughout the United States. In June 1996 he was a jury-member for the Robert-Schumann-International Lieder-Competition, which is held every four years in Zwickau, Sc~umann's birthplace, in Germany.
