By:

Eastman School of Music Professor Emeritus of Voice John T. Maloy, an esteemed and beloved teacher of such opera luminaries as Renée Fleming, Anthony Dean Griffey, Nicole Cabell, James Courtney, and many other singers, died Thursday, Jan. 12, in Rochester, N.Y. He was 81 years old.

Before joining the Eastman faculty in 1966, Professor Maloy sang more than 1,000 performances with opera companies throughout Germany and Switzerland, including leading tenor roles in Bremerhaven, Gelsenkirchen, Wuppertal, and Berne. He also gave Lieder song recitals over North German and Austrian radio, did concert appearances in Spain, and made recordings in London.

At Eastman, Professor Maloy served as chair of Eastman’s voice department from 1977 to 2002 and received the School’s Eisenhart Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2003. He retired in 2005 and was named Professor Emeritus of Voice that same year.
