THE RICHARD TUCKER MUSIC FOUNDATION
The Richard Tucker Music Foundation is driven by the belief that through recognizing and supporting the early careers of young American opera singers, we can insure the future of great opera. During 2020, the Richard Tucker Relief Fund sent grants to some of the recent winners of Tucker Study and Career Grants — the future of opera in America who needed our help until concert halls and opera houses were able to reopen.
Please help us support the future of opera in America.

The Richard Tucker Music Foundation mourns the death of Joan Tucker, a remarkable and beloved woman who supported and guided the Foundation since the beginning. She led a distinguished career in city government and higher education and will be remembered for her grace, sharp intelligence, and kindness. Our deepest condolences to the entire Tucker family, especially to her husband, our President Barry Tucker, her children Amy and Robert, and to their families. We celebrate her life and keep her close in our hearts.
