#BBOI mourns the loss of legendary soprano & teacher, Carmen Balthrop. We send condolences to her family, friends, students, colleagues, and admirers. While she will be sorely missed, we join in celebrating her brilliant artistry, stellar career, & impactful tutelage and life.

We remember Ernest “Rip” Patton Freedom Rider, a Tennessee State Tiger, a Sinfonian, an AOB drum major, a musician, a fine baritone, a mentor, and an icon.
