#NewYorkNotes #WhomWeMiss #HeatherHarper RECORDING ACADEMY™ STATEMENT RE: HEATHER HARPER APRIL 23, 2019


Heather Harper was one of the most revered operatic sopranos of her time. In 1962, she solidified her status as an international artist following her impromptu performance in Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, which contributed to her sustained success as an opera and concert singer, and recording artist. At the 27th GRAMMY Awards® Harper was awarded a GRAMMY® for Best Classical Vocal Soloist Performance for "Ravel: Songs Of Maurice Ravel." She was a marvelous talent and will be deeply missed within the opera community and beyond.
