Testimonials

“I've had the pleasure of rehearsing and recording Bill Heigen's music in January of 2019 with a small group of marvelous choral singers. Bill's music is gorgeous, nuanced, complex yet accessible, and a joy to sing. I enjoyed our entire process, from start to finish, on musical, and personal, as well as emotional levels. Bill has an amazing ability to communicate through his music, and is also wonderfully open about describing his process to his collaborators, an attribute that not only makes his music sound great but also inspires the performers of his music. Every aspect of the experience was professional, rigorous, and very enjoyable. I can't recommend highly enough the music of Bill Heigen, and the experience working with him directly as a musician.”

“Composer Bill Heigen is a bright young light, writing music that bypasses unnecessary complexity, speaking directly, and with a balance of passion and intelligence. And, on top of that, he is a delight to work with! Beyond his incredible talent as a composer, Bill is a beautiful tenor singer - not only exquisite tone, but high-level musicianship in every way, and a real find either as a soloist or as an ensemblist. Bill and I have worked together as commissioned composer-conductor; composer hiring conductor for a premiere; conductor hiring a tenor for an ensemble need. Multi-faceted professional interactions, all rewarding!”

“I had a fantastic gig experience with all the people I've worked with; during the 2023/24 season. It was indeed helpful to have Bill Heigen as a middleman with excellent communication skills. His service as a Choral Contractor is invaluable to the Freelancer community. I did not know anyone who could have done it better than him. From connecting both parties by emails, to timely responses and periodic check-ins, I will recommend you to anyone and everyone I know.”

“Bill is a brilliant performer and composer! As a section leader at St. Michael's and member of the pro-octet, he has been the consummate professional - always knows his part, respectfully helps the amateur singers in his section, and inspires others to be better musicians. As a soloists, he is incredibly versatile in his ability to shift from one genre to another. As a composer, I've commissioned Bill for numerous works, and St. Michael's has really enjoyed all the works he's brought to us. His compositions are really engaging, accessible for the modern listener, and always so skillfully, beautifully, and masterfully composed. I recommend Bill without reservation!”

“As my agent, Bill Heigen connected me with two very fruitful musical opportunities—a choral part on a Coca-Cola commercial and a Choral Scholar position with the Choir of Saint Peter's Church in NYC. I would not have been able to access these career-expanding opportunities were it not for the diligence and hard work of Bill, who expeditiously connected me and set up these auditions. He is also an immensely gifted musician and it is a privilege to sing alongside him!”

"I had a very good experience working a gig with BHCP. Bill is a very clear communicator and his thoroughness and attention to detail are excellent. He also happened to be a singer on the gig, and he is a lovely musician to work with as well!"
