Sean Bell is a countertenor and performance artist from Oslo. His work centres around chamber and sacred music and opera, yet also includes a focus on new ideas and methods of interpreting classical and contemporary repertoire. Through sonic imaginations and arrangements, he explores this repertoire in new ways. This has led him to a series of collaborations and solo performances on the border between classical music and performance art.
In 2021 he made his debut at Høstutstillingen with his performance work Stille Amare . In 2023 he made his soloist debut at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet in the opera Nothing by David Bruce. Sean is also an active improviser, plays baroque guitar and engages in instrument building and music electronics.
He holds a master’s degree in Early Music Voice from the Royal Conservatoire The Hague in the Netherlands, and a bachelor’s degree in Performance and Music Pedagogics from the Norwegian Academy of Music.
