Grammy Award Nomination, 2024 – Best Classical Solo Vocal Album
Rising
Lawrence Brownlee, soloist; Kevin J. Miller, pianist
A captivating and charismatic tenor, Lawrence Brownlee is a leading force in opera, wielding his voice in the industry to promote activism and diversity. “One of the most in-demand opera singers in the world today,” according to NPR, Brownlee returns with Rising, a program based on texts by poets and authors of the Harlem Renaissance. Joined by pianist Kevin Miller, Brownlee performs brand-new music that he is commissioning from acclaimed Black composers.
For Brownlee, dazzling classical music audiences and advocating for diversity within the field of classical music go hand in hand. “As an artist, I think it is important that we are actively advocating for this beautiful art form we love so much,” he says, “ensuring that it will be alive and well for many years to come.”
Join Lawrence Brownlee as he shares his bold and thrilling vision: he reflects on the past as he looks ahead to a more inclusive vocal repertoire.
