Born in Ann Arbor, Theodor Carlson's first encounter with art song came at age 13 when he learned Franz Schubert's Aufenthalt. Before completing his Bachelor of Music Degree at the University of Michigan he gave many recitals including all 16 songs of Robert Schumann's Dichterliebe and the 20 song cycle: Schubert's Die Schöne Müllerin. He also presented Peter Maxwell-Davies Eight Songs for a Mad King at The Detroit Institute of Arts, to great critical acclaim. Later as a graduate student at the Juilliard Opera Center he presented Songs of Brahms and at Alice Tulley Hall, songs of Charles Ives.
Carlson holds a certificate from the Ottorino Respighi Academy in Rome for courses in operatic interpretation with Giuseppe di Stefano. He performed Brahms and Schubert songs in Bern where he also studied Lied interpretation with Brigitte Fassbaender. He also had voice lessons with Professor Rudolf Bautz and Margaret Harshaw. He has received numerous national and international awards, including first prize at the Concours International de Chant de Verviers, first prize at the New York City YWCA International Singing Competition (Licia Albanese presiding), the Puccini Foundation Award, and a Metropolitan Opera scholarship.
He was recognized by the US Army Command for his long-standing support of the Heidelberg Community.
