I will shave my head into a buzz cut (I am known for my long, curly locks--see picture) and the person donating can have the pleasure of shaving it, if they so choose! If they do not want to shave it or are too far away, I will have pictures and email them to you. Head shaving will commence upon full funding of project.

Bass Baritone Tim Hill has received accolades for both his beautiful singing and visceral stagecraft. Of his New York City performance as Scarpia in Tosca, OperaNotes.com said "Timothy Hill was the star of the day." Newark's The Star Ledger called his Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor, "...most polished, with a fine burly baritone and a developed actor's sense of timing."
Recent engagements include his Carnegie Hall debut with The Collegiate Chorale singing selections from Bernstein’sA White House Cantata (as the Delegate from Virginia); a return to the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts where he covered the role of Fra Melitone in Verdi’s masterpiece La Forza del Destino. He also reprised the role of Baron Scarpia in the Myriad Opera Company’s production of Tosca.
During the 2007 season, Tim sang the roles of Reverend Olin Blitch in Susannah and Il conte d’Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro for Connecticut Lyric Opera. He also made his Ohio debut as Sciarrone in Tosca and covered Scarpia for the Toledo Opera. During 2004, Tim spent the first of two summers with The Santa Fe Opera as a part of their prestigious Apprentice Program for Singers. His assignments included covering Paolo in Simone Boccanegra, Leonato in Beatrice and Benedict, and performing scenes from Madama Butterfly, and L'elisir d'amore. In 2005, Tim returned to The Santa Fe Opera and sang the role of the Sergeante in Il barbiere di Siviglia, covered the role of Mandarin in Turandot and performed scenes from Barber’s A Hand of Bridge and Verdi’s Rigoletto.
Comfortable in both the worlds of opera and music theater, Tim has performed many staples of both repertories. Some of his favorite roles include Il counte di Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro, Sweeney in Sweeney Todd, Marcello inLa bohème, and Cinderella's Prince in Into the Woods. He also has sung the role of Don Basilio in Paisiello's original and rarely performed Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Théâtre d'Evreaux in Evreaux, France. Other roles also include Il Conte di Luna in Il Trovatore, Melisso in Alcina and King Melchior in Amahl and the Night Visitors.
Tim participated in the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts' 2003 world premiere of Donizetti's Elisabeth under the direction of Maestro Will Crutchfield.
Tim is excited to be teaching singing and vocal production to acting students enrolled in the NYU Tisch School's Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute program.
