Masterclass: Jamie Barton, mezzo-soprano

Free admission to observe, no ticket required

Critically acclaimed by virtually every major outlet covering classical music, American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton is also recognized for how she uses her powerful instrument offstage – lifting up women, queer people, and other marginalized communities. Her lively social media presence as @jbartonmezzo serves as a hub for conversations about body positivity, social justice issues, and LGBTQ+ rights. In recognition of her iconic performance at the Last Night of the Proms, Ms. Barton was named Personality of the Year at the BBC Music Magazine Awards. She is the winner of a 2026 Grammy® Award, as well as an International Opera Award, Beverly Sills Artist Award, Richard Tucker Award, and BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, for which The Guardian described her as “a great artist, no question, with an imperturbable steadiness of tone, and a nobility of utterance that invites comparison not so much with her contemporaries as with mid-20th century greats such as Kirsten Flagstad.” Read more.
