A leading voice in the artist as citizen discussion, Soprano Monica Yunus is the Co-Founder of Sing for Hope, a non-profit that brings arts outreach programs to communities in need and presents initiatives that make the arts accessible to all. Equally at home in concert, recital or on the operatic stage, she has been called "especially winning" by The New York Times, and commended for her "rich and sensuous voice [that] was utterly captivating." Ms. Yunus has performed on some of the world's greatest stages including The Metropolitan Opera, where she is a frequent presence. She can be seen in several Metropolitan Opera HD broadcasts ranging from The Magic Flute to Le Comte Ory to La Rondine. A graduate of The Juilliard School, her concert and recital performances have taken her all over the world- in countries ranging from Bangladesh, Guatemala and Lebanon and in performances with legendary singers such as Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Andrea Bocelli. She is on the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University as an artist lecturer. For her contributions to the field of arts activism, Ms. Yunus has received a 2009 DOHA 21st Century Leader Award in the category of Outstanding Humanitarian.
