Today, in her late 70s, she runs a foundation that fosters opportunities for young American singers. There’s a Roman clip of her on youtube singing the Liber Scriptus in Verdi’s Requiem with a young Pavarotti seated transfixed behind her. She fought for what was right and, usually, she won – as many conductors can testify. Fifty years ago, she stormed the German scene with one of the most powerful renditions of Marie in Berg’s Wozzeck.Īgainst her family’s wishes, she married Henry Lewis, an Afro-American bass player (and rising conductor), sacrificing her career in the segregated parts of the US. As a college student, she corrected Stravinsky and Hindemith on baroque singing. She was born in Bradford, Pennsylvania on January 16, 1934. Hers is a story of unyielding courage and self-confidence.
