Camille Zamora
soprano

    In collaboration with artists ranging from Plácido Domingo to Sting, Camille Zamora has garnered acclaim for her “dramatic and nuanced” (The New York Times) interpretations of repertoire ranging from Mozart to tango.
    Career highlights include Zamora’s debut at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, performances at the United States Capitol with Yo-Yo Ma, and concerts of classic tango with Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and the Florida Orchestra. She re-created the principal soprano role of Lucia in Hindemith’s The Long Christmas Dinner with American Symphony Orchestra at Lincoln Center, the live recording of which topped The New York Times’ Classical Playlist and was chosen one of Opera News’ Best Recordings of the Year. Other performance highlights include music of Enrique Granados with Yo-Yo Ma and Cristina Pato in the documentary film The Music of Strangers, by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville; the narrated concert Twin Spirits: Robert and Clara Schumann with Sting, Nathan Gunn, and Joshua Bell, at Lincoln Center in New York City and the Music Center in Los Angeles; and concerts of American Songbook classics with bandleader Jon Batiste of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
    Hailed as a leading interpreter of classical Spanish song by NBC Latino and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Zamora has performed and recorded principal roles in zarzuelas including La Verbena de la paloma, La Revoltosa, Luisa Fernanda, and La tabernera del puerto. Her performances of classical Spanish repertoire have been heard on five continents, in series ranging from Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections to Zimbabwe’s Harare International Festival.
    A graduate of The Juilliard School, Zamora is the co-founder of Sing for Hope, a non-profit that mobilizes artists in volunteer service and presents projects – such as NYC’s Sing for Hope Pianos – that make the arts accessible to all. A 2016/17 Kennedy Center Citizen Artist, she has also been honored with a World Harmony Run Torch-Bearer Award, a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Recognition, and a 100 Hispanic Women Community Pride Award. She has been named one of the Top 50 Americans in Philanthropy by Town & Country, NY1’s New Yorker of the Week, and one of CNN’s Most Intriguing People.
