Last year, the High Point native won Grammys for Best Classical Album and Best Opera Recording – both for his performance with the Los Angeles Opera of “Weill: Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.”
So how does the world-renown tenor follow that performance? He wins two more Grammys this year, Best Classical Album and Best Choral Performance – both for his work on “Mahler: Symphony No. 8; Adagio From Symphony No. 10” in performance with the San Francisco Symphony.
Griffey spends part of his time in performance venues around the world, part of his time teaching music at UNC-Chapel Hill and part of his time aiding arts efforts and community organizations in his hometown.
We’d call Griffey a goodwill ambassador around the world for High Point. And now we’ll call him a four-time Grammy award winner ... but maybe only until next year.
