Renée Fleming is one of the most acclaimed singers of our time, performing on the stages of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls. Honored with five GRAMMY® awards and the US National Medal of Arts, she has sung for momentous occasions from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Super Bowl. In 2023, the World Health Organization appointed her as a Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health.

Renée’s anthology, Music and Mind: Harnessing the Arts for Health and Wellness, was published in 2024. A leading advocate for research at the intersection of arts and health, Fleming launched the first ongoing collaboration between The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the National Institutes of Health. Renée’s 2023 Grammy Award-winning album Voice of Nature: The Anthropocene inspired a current concert tour with a film by the National Geographic Society. She recently starred in the world premiere staging of The Hours, a new opera based on the award-winning novel and film, at the Metropolitan Opera.

Other awards include the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Germany’s Cross of the Order of Merit, France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, and honorary doctorates from 10 major universities.
