PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Opera singer Winifred Brown will conduct a vocal master class at Berkshire Music School. The public is invited to observe for a $10 donation at the door. This is a joint venture between BMS and Berkshire Lyric. BMS is located at 30 Wendell Ave.; free parking is available.
Brown, a soprano, is well known throughout Europe and the Americas. She has performed major roles such as Norma, Violetta, the Marschallin, Donna Anna, Mimi and Musetta. She has been a guest artist of the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, as well as the opera houses in Berlin, Paris and Rome. She has appeared with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra and many regional orchestras.
Founder and artistic director of CandleOpera and NOVA, the New Organization for Vocal Artistry, she has conducted, stage directed and given master classes in New York City, Chicago, Italy, Germany, France and Mexico. A music gypsy since 17, Brown lives in Chicago and is actively involved with family, church, local classical, avant garde, and jazz groups.
She has degrees from the College of Wooster, the University of Illinois, was a member of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Center and was a first-place winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Auditions.
If Winifred Brown was the opera singer in the movie philidelphia when Denzel Washington was trying to prepare Tom Hanks court case then I must say she is truly sensational, incredible and brings tears to your eyes. I can,t say anymore because it would exaustyou. If she was can you provide me with the CD name that I can purchase it. email: abster@cogeco.ca. Thank you.
