Dawn Upshaw

Dawn Upshaw is a true celebrity in every sense of the word. The American soprano of both opera and classical concert music is celebrated as one of the finest vocalists and performers today. The Grammy Award-winner, who has been on every grand stage from the Met to the Sydney Opera House, was named a fellow of the MacArthur Foundation in 2007 and awarded a five-year “genius” prize. In 2008, Upshaw became a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. The renowned singer stops for an evening at Edmond’s Armstrong Auditorium with a program certain to reveal her virtuosity in ageless works of those old masters Bach, Debussy and Bartok as well as more recent works. www.armstrongauditorium.org
