Jamie Barton, American mezzo-soprano, is critically acclaimed by virtually every major outlet covering classical music, and is increasingly recognized for how she uses her powerful instrument offstage – lifting up women, queer people, and other marginalized communities. Her lively social media presence on Instagram and Twitter (@jbartonmezzo) serves as a hub for conversations about body positivity, diet culture, social justice issues, and LGBTQ+ rights. Ms. Barton is the winner of the Beverly Sills Artist Award and Richard Tucker Award, both Main and Song Prizes at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, and Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Her debut solo album, All Who Wander, featuring songs by Mahler, Dvorak, and Sibelius, earned the 2018 BBC Music Magazine Vocal Award, and she was deeply honored to be the featured performer on Last Night of the Proms 2019 at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
