About Ron

In 2010, Ron was a guest soloist with the Zamir Chorale Jazzamir concert at Sanders Theater.

Recognized nationwide for his artistry in the field of opera and oratorio, Ron Williams continues to gather acclaim for his work onstage and in the concert hall. He has sung leading roles with several opera companies nationally, including San Francisco Spring Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre and Opera San Jose, where he created the role of Edward in the world premiere of Alva Henderson’s The Last Leaf. 

Locally, Williams debuted with Boston Lyric Opera in the revival of Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars, receiving critical acclaim from the New York Times. He portrayed nemesis Nick Shadow in the much-heralded production of The Rake’s Progress with Boston’s Opera Laboratory Company at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Richard Dyer of the Boston Globe praised his performance of Figaro in Opera New England’s The Barber of Seville. Ron made his debut with Longwood Opera in the title role of Verdi’s Rigoletto. After a long hiatus he appeared with the company in Hansel & Gretel last fall. Mr. Williams was a regional finalist in the San Francisco Opera National Auditions. He received the College Foundation Award from the California Music Teachers Association. Ron remains passionately interested in arts education for young audiences and has performed at the National Children’s Arts Festival at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Williams maintains a busy concert schedule, having performed with the Nashua Symphony, Chorus North Shore, Symphony Pro Musica, as well as the Dartmouth College Symphony (N.H.) where he sang in a concert version of Beethoven’s Fidelio. Ron took on the role of the biblical narrator in a performance of King David by Arthur Honegger with the Masterworks Chorale under the late Alan Lannom. Ron was seen as the narrator in the performance of The Snowman with Boston Civic Symphony. He made his debut with Boston Cecilia last spring in Britten’s Cantata Misericordium under the direction of Donald Teeters.
