Bruce Boyce (1910 – 11 May 1996) was a prominent Canadian-born American baritone singer of opera, oratorio and lieder, who made his postwar career in Britain and became a professor at the Royal Academy of Music.
After demobilization, Boyce decided to base his home and career in London starting with two recitals at Wigmore Hall in 1946, after which he was soon re-established as a recitalist and oratorio singer.
Continuing his oratorio career, he often sang in J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion and appeared in English music such as the Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony.
His lieder recitals were noted for their strong and intelligent construction and choice of material, and his singing for their roundness and firmness of tone, the flexibility and nuance of expression, and sureness of touch in mood-depiction.
Gerald Moore, who sometimes accompanied him on the piano, referred to him as "that immaculate artist", describing him as "a large, tall man", and stated that Boyce "is recognised in Germany today as echt deutsch with his superb enunciation and his knowledge of the literature.
His a strong affection for British composers included not only Delius and Vaughan Williams but lesser lights such as Herbert Howells, John Ireland and Ivor Gurney.
