2018 RPS Awards | Gold Medal | Jessye Norman

American soprano, Jessye Norman has been awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal – one of classical music’s highest honours – in the year she celebrates 50 years in the profession. She was presented with the RPS Gold Medal in New York by Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall. In awarding the Gold Medal, the RPS said: "Jessye Norman is a towering artist: an icon in the operatic world who has raised the bar of the possibilities of the human voice. Her rich lyric voice - distinctive, sumptuous, spine-tingling, joyful and passionate - and her sheer versatility set her in a category of her own."
