Thomas Hampson

To tell stories of the human existence, to bring them to life, to move and touch us . . . this is what matters most to Thomas Hampson when he appears on stage. His sold-out performances on the world's major concert and opera stages are hailed by audiences and critics alike. Equally at home on the opera stage and in his unique recitals of American songs, Thomas Hampson is one of the great voices of our time. His evening of American music in Newlin Hall is a concert that will be remembered for years to come. Dubbed the "Ambassador of American Song," Hampson draws on a vast repertoire that includes works by Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Charles Ives, and many others, to create an unforgettable musical journey that ranges from Psalm settings and hymns, to folksongs and cowboy songs, to Stephen Foster and African American spirituals.
