Born in Port Colborne, Ontario, baritone Phillip Addis received his diploma in operatic performance from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music. He is currently engaged with the Atelier lyrique de l’Opéra de Montréal.

Phillip Addis won first prize in the OSM Standard Life Competition in 2004 and in the Orchestre symphonique de Québec’s Canadian Concerto Competition.
