Renée Fleming has performed on the stages of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls, starred on Broadway, and been featured in film scores including The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and The Shape of Water. Honored with five GRAMMY awards and the National Medal of Arts, she has sung for audiences numbering in the millions, from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Super Bowl.

Five-time GRAMMY-winning vocalist Angélique Kidjo takes her fans on genre-bending musical odysseys that incorporate the traditions of Africa and Latin America with elements of American R&B, funk, and jazz. One of the greatest artists in international music today, she has been recognized by TIME magazine, Forbes, the Guardian, and the BBC as one of the most influential artists in the world. Among her many awards are the prestigious 2015 Crystal Award given by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and the 2016 Amnesty International Ambassador of Conscience Award.
