Tune in for a new episode featuring world-renowned mezzo-soprano opera superstar, Denyce Graves.

Denyce has graced all the major world opera house stages and concert halls during her 30+ year long career. From humble beginnings to winning a Grammy for Best Opera Recording, Denyce's talent is unmatched. 

Leslie and Denyce discuss her greatest mentors, inspirations, the three tenors, and her greatest passion - The Denyce Graves Foundation. 

Founded in 2021, The Denyce Graves Foundation focuses on educating and mentoring the future generation of opera singers while honoring the history of vocal artists that are less known but have had a major impact on the arts in America. Their motto: "Artistic excellence has no racial, physical, or economic limitations."

Leslie and Denyce had such an amazing conversation that we are splitting it into two parts! Part two will be released on July 10, 2024 at 7 AM EST
