American Soprano Elizabeth Baldwin just recently set Savannah hearts on fire after her jaw-dropping, thunderous performance of Verdi Requiem at the Lucas Theatre with the Savannah Philharmonic and the Savannah Philharmonic Chorus.

To say she's a "winner" is a massive understatement. Ms. Baldwin is a 2024 First Place Gold Medalist with the American Traditions Vocal Collection Competition and two-time Sherrill Milnes Opera Award winner (just to mention a few).

On the concert stage, Ms. Baldwin was heard recently in a recital performing with Howard Watkins at the Savannah VOICE Festival; Verdi’s Requiem with Alabama Symphony Orchestra (a work later covered with the San Diego Symphony); Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with Akron Symphony, Sarasota Symphony Orchestra, and Gulf Coast Symphony; Handel’s Messiah with Erie Philharmonic Orchestra; and Strauss’ Vier Letzte Lieder with Denver Philharmonic Orchestra.

She sits down with us to talk about her performances around the country, her love for Savannah, and her secrets to "nailing the note".

We're so thrilled to sit down and get to know Dr. Leah Dutton, who is the multitalented librarian - and cellist - for the Savannah Philharmonic. Leah talks about her journey from Pennsylvania to Brazil - where by the way - she spent 5 years working as the principal cellist of the Paraíba Symphony Orchestra and completed her Master’s degree at the Federal University of Paraíba. She also recalls the beautiful, drizzly November day she came to Savannah for the first time.

Leah and her husband have a distinct connection with Dr. Sinisa Ciric, Director of Artistic Operations, and the Concertmaster Emeritus of the Savannah Philharmonic.
