Song and Music

Faith Winthrop

“The many attitudes toward the process of aging may include acceptance, delight, denial, despair and abject terror. Having worked through many of these transitions myself, I am grateful to be my age and have the ability to share wonderful songs and sentiments.”

Faith Winthrop is a Bay Area treasure celebrating 80 years of life in song as both an international singer/songwriter and a leading specialist in vocal technique and performance skills. Faith was the founding director of Glide Memorial’s now-famed ensemble and a faculty member at the SF Conservatory of Music. She continues to teach at The Jazzschool and Mills College and in her home studio. She has coached many acclaimed artists, including Ben Vereen, Al Jarreau, Holly Near and Paula West, as well as countless aspiring singers. Her interest in songs related to aging has inspired her new show to premier at San Francisco’s Razz Room in November.
