Renée Fleming is one of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time. She continues to grace the world’s greatest opera stages and concert halls with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. As a musical statesman, Ms. Fleming has performed for the United States Supreme Court, HRH The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace, and celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution at the invitation of Vaclav Havel. Ms. Fleming recently received her 12th Grammy Award nomination for her latest album Verismo. In a recent review of her master class at The Juilliard School, Opera News said “Renée Fleming is among the select group of artists who qualify as true master teachers….Fleming understands that if the art form she has served so well is to survive, the next generation needs to be nourished.”

About Frost School of Music
The Frost School of Music, one of two schools created in 1926 when the University of Miami was founded, is one of the largest and best music schools located in a private university in the U.S., and one of the most comprehensive in all of higher education. The naming gift from Dr. Phillip and Patricia Frost was one of the historic highlights in the life of the School. Building on its foundation as a Conservatory of Music, the Frost School has pioneered new curricula and was the first in the nation to offer professionally accredited bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Music Business and Music Engineering Technology. The Frost School was also among the first to offer degrees in Studio Music and Jazz, Music Therapy, and Accompanying and Chamber Music. In addition, the Frost School was the first in a major university to develop a student-run label, ‘Cane Records, and a publishing company, Category Five. The School’s innovative programs, combined with its traditional areas of concentration, offer its students one of the widest choices of career programs of any music school in the nation. The Frost School continues to lead, having recently established a new songwriting degree; the “Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music Program.” Also, the world-renowned Henry Mancini Institute has relocated from Los Angeles to the Frost School. http://www.music.miami.edu
