Convinced that she didn’t have the voice to sing professionally, Margaret Fuller Simpson ’93 enrolled in nursing school after graduating from CC. However, she continued vocal instruction; her teacher eventually persuaded her to earn a master’s degree in music instead of nursing.

Recent reviews lauded Simpson’s “vocal pyrotechnics” and her “almost super-human performance” as Marie in “Daughter of the Regiment,” and called her performance of “Glitter and Be Gay” in “Candide” as “the high point of the production.”

With support from her long-time mentor Martile Rowland, Simpson has won several vocal competitions and recently performed with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, singing music from the Frasquita role in “Carmen” and Rosalinda in “Die Fledermaus.”
