Renée Fleming is a once-in-a-generation artist whose voice and presence have captivated audiences from the world’s grandest opera houses to the halls of Buckingham Palace. Equally renowned across classical and contemporary genres, she has performed with legends such as Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, Paul Simon, Sting, Josh Groban, and Joan Baez—bringing new audiences to opera and classical music through her unique artistry and cross-genre collaborations.
A five-time Grammy® Award winner and recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Arts, Fleming has also been honoured internationally with the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Germany’s Cross of the Order of Merit, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, and France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. Beyond the stage, she is a global leader in the field of arts and health, championing research at the intersection of neuroscience and the arts. Fleming serves as an advisor to major initiatives including the Sound Health Network at the University of California San Francisco and the NeuroArts Blueprint at Johns Hopkins University, helping illuminate the powerful impact of the arts on the mind and body.
