Richard Kennedy, Tenor
Professional Artist-Teacher of Voice
Welcome to my Web site! I am delighted to share with you my thoughts on performing and teaching, my artistic philosophy, my accomplishments, and my artistry.
We are all creative artists. We are driven by the need to communicate who we are and what we think and feel. The arts provide an opportunity to do so. Through my singing I am able to offer my interpretation of great music and powerful words - vehicles that enlighten, bond, cry out, and amuse.
We all love to hear stories. We seek them out at the movies, through television, plays, books, operas, and even in everyday conversation. Consequently, stories can be as simple as hearing about someone's day or as monumental as an epic poem. I am passionate about storytelling as I sing about love, death, agony, devotion to God, the foibles of humankind - the whole of the human experience.
I hope that within these pages you find a compelling reason to provide me with the opportunity to sing for you someday soon.
Again, welcome!
