We were asked the other day where we find our endless supply of barihunks. Most come from opera companies, colleagues, and friends and family. Our latest came from a tweet from Joseph Ford Thompson Photography, who wrote "Check out my latest photoshoot. I think we have a new member of the #Barihunk family."
He was talking about Scottish bass-barihunk Michael Mofidian, who recently began his Master of Arts program in Vocal Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He started his studies as a youth playing the violin and piano, before beginning formal instruction in harmony and
counterpoint at St Mary’s Music School, where he was the recipient of a
piano scholarship. Michael then read Music at Jesus College, Cambridge,
graduating in 2014 with first-class honours.

His studies are being funded by an Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Scholarship and a Help Musicians UK Fleming Award. He is especially interested in 20th-century and contemporary music. His operatic roles have included the Ferryman in Britten's
Curlew River, Parson/Badger and Harasta in Janacek's
The Cunning Little Vixen, and the Father-in-law/Le pauvre matelot and Adorno in the UK première of Act II of Schreker’s
Die Gezeichneten. He recently created the role of God in Joshua Borin’s new chamber opera
CAIN.
