His performances have been described as: “beautiful, compelling and dreamlike, his easing so beautifully into his upper register that it makes one think of both Helden baritone and Verdi baritone.“, “From Jeffrey Hoos’ robust Kurwenal… there was no denying the integrity and power of this performance“, “Nary a weak link with Jeffrey Hoos’ rafter-shaking Kurwenal, he was as heroic as the Tristan, and gorgeously loud.” (SF Chronicle, SF Classical Voice, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, OPERA Magazine, Parterre Box).
He has been a top prize winner of The Giulio Gari Foundation Vocal Competition, The Palm Springs Opera Guild Vocal Competition, and The Jensen Foundation Vocal Competition.
