Randall Umstead

Randall Umstead is a tenor scheduled to sing with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra in September 2026, taking the tenor solo part in Mozart's Requiem alongside works by Caroline Shaw and Anna Clyne. Beyond this engagement, the available directory information does not confirm further details of his career.

Listeners can expect Umstead's voice woven into the vocal quartet and chorus writing of Mozart's Requiem, a work completed after the composer's death and finished by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr. The tenor's lines appear in ensemble movements like the "Recordare" and the "Benedictus," where the four soloists trade short phrases before joining together, and in the dramatic "Tuba mirum," where each voice enters in turn to depict a trumpet call summoning the dead. The program opens with Caroline Shaw's "Entr'acte," a short orchestral work built from shifting string harmonies, and Anna Clyne's "Sound and Fury," an energetic piece for full orchestra, setting a contemporary frame around the Requiem's 18th-century drama.
