Dawn Upshaw, (born July 17, 1960, Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.), is an American operatic soprano known for her exquisite voice and for her meticulous attention to texts in many languages.
In 1984 Upshaw was a winner of the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and later that year she became an apprentice singer with the Metropolitan Opera. In 1985 Upshaw shared the first prize in the Walter M. Naumburg Competition, consequently making her recital debut at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. She became a frequent performer with the Metropolitan Opera and with companies throughout the United States and Europe.
The recital and chamber-music repertoire was of special interest to Upshaw, and she devoted a substantial part of her time to programs that included selections ranging from art songs to works of the musical theatre and American popular songs. Upshaw has collaborated with a number of contemporary composers, often singing in the first performances of their works. Significant opera premieres include John Harbison’s The Great Gatsby (1999), Kaija Saariaho’s L’Amour de loin (2000), and Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar (2003).
Upshaw performed in Henryk Górecki’s Symphony No. 3, and the recording sold more than a million copies, an unusual feat in the classical world. In addition, she was the recipient of several Grammy Awards, including best classical vocal performance for Knoxville: Summer of 1915 (1989) and for The Girl with Orange Lips (1991). She received the Grammy for best classical vocal solo performance for her work on composer Maria Schneider’s album Winter Morning Walks (2013). Upshaw’s other honors include a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (2007). In 2008 Upshaw was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
