Limmie Pulliam, tenor with Greg Zelek, organ

Venue: Overture Hall

Tuesday, February 25, 2025
7:30 p.m.

Limmie Pulliam awed our Madison audience with his performances in Madison Opera’s Tosca and our own 2023 Madison Symphony Orchestra Christmas concert. He and I will join forces in a program featuring some of the most well-known operatic arias, gospel works arranged for organ and tenor, and solo organ arrangements of opera overtures and instrumentals. I can’t wait to bring Mr. Pulliam back to wow our audience once again! – Greg Zelek

“Limmie Pulliam had an amazing voice and presence. I read about him in the NY Times but never thought I’d get to see him in Madison!” 

— MSO Patron

He’s a genuine dramatic tenor, a singer with a large, burnished, baritonal sound. Pulliam can roar, he can sing sweetly, and he can simmer…” 

— San Francisco Classical Voice

“The audience ovation for Pulliam at the end of the performance was almost frenzied.” 

— Seen And Heard International
