In this powerful episode of ReBloom, we are honored to sit with Denyce Graves Montgomery—one of the most celebrated mezzo-sopranos of our time—for a conversation that moves far beyond the stage. From her childhood roots in Washington, D.C. to performances in the world’s most iconic opera houses, Denyce shares not just the milestones of her legendary career, but the deep intention behind it all.
We talk about her life in music—the roles that shaped her, and the careers she’s now helping shape as a director, educator, and founder of The Denyce Graves Foundation. Through this work, she’s not only nurturing the next generation of vocalists, but also ensuring the stories of overlooked musical pioneers are finally brought to light.
This conversation is about voice in every sense—how we use it, how we protect it, and how we pass it
