Leon Williams has enjoyed a varied and expansive career singing opera, concert, recitals, and Broadway throughout the U.S., Europe, Canada, Russia, Japan, and South America. He has shared the concert and opera stages with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra and world-class artists at Hawaii Opera Theatre.

 

Although Leon possesses an undeniably well-trained, highly burnished baritone voice, he  also communicates in a way that is wholly organic and human in nature making the listener feel that the songs are coming directly from the heart. Leon is truly one of today’s most versatile vocal artists. He is celebrated for programs of spirituals, holiday songs, popular standards, and show tunes. He appeared on Broadway and on tour in the musical Ragtime, and has been a guest soloist on “Pops” programs with the Grand Rapids, Elgin, Stockton, Westfield, Boston, and South Bend Symphonies.

 

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, he holds a Master of Music from the Juilliard School, a Bachelor of Music from Westminster Choir College, and graduated as Most Outstanding Member from the world-renowned Boys Choir of Harlem.
