Baritone Philip Lima has sung leading operatic

roles in Germany and for regional American
opera companies in repertoire ranging from
traditional favorites by Handel, Mozart, Puccini, and
Verdi, to important works of twentieth-century masters such as
Samuel Barber, Benjamin Britten, and Viktor Ullmann, to the comic
masterworks of Gilbert & Sullivan. Of particular note have been his

He has appeared as a soloist with the Boston Pops and over seventy

Luther King, Jr.). Mr. Lima is featured on the recording of pioneering
African-American composer Florence Price’s Abraham Lincoln Walks
