Congratulations to baritone Liam Dooley, winner of the 2026 Ted Stevens Young
Alaskan Artist Award!
Born and raised in Eagle River, Liam Dooley is a 2018 graduate of Chugiak High School. He received his Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from the University of Denver and is currently pursuing a Master of Music in Voice and Opera at McGill University. A former student of 2004 Young Alaskan Artist Christine Keene, Liam is the first “second-generation” award winner. This landmark underscores the importance of investing in young Alaskan musicians.
Liam’s recital will span a wide stylistic range, from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro to Rachel Portman’s The Little Prince, based on Saint-Exupéry’s beloved classic, and Paul Bowles’ Blue Mountain Ballads, settings of poems by Tennessee Williams. Liam will be joined by pianist Susan Reed.
Meet and congratulate Liam at the post-concert reception.
