While studying at the State University of New York, she took up singing with a jazz trio in an off-campus bar. As well as broadening her experience in performance and communication, the jazz performances brought Ms Fleming to the attention of legendary jazz saxophonist, Illinois Jacquet, who was so moved by her singing that he invited her on tour with his big band. Instead Renée Fleming went on to graduate studies at both the Eastman School of Music and The Juilliard School. |
