It is with deepest sadness that The Harlem School of the Arts announces the passing of Ms. Betty Allen, The Harlem School of the Arts’ President Emeritus.
On Monday, June 22nd, Ms. Allen died peacefully at Westchester Medical Center with her family by her side. Considered “one of the most endearing and powerful voices of the century,” mezzo-soprano Betty Allen has been a guiding force at HSA since she became Executive Director upon the retirement of the school’s founder Dorothy Maynor, in 1979.
Born in Campbell, Ohio, Betty Allen made her operatic debut in 1954 as Queenie in Showboat. She made her New York recital debut at Town Hall in 1958. In 1964, she made her formal Opera debut at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, Argentina, followed by countless appearances worldwide.
