Multi-Grammy nominee, Broadway and Recording artist, MAUREEN MCGOVERN  
continues to thrill audiences with a voice that defies categorization.  
Known as /“THE STRADIVARIUS VOICE,”/ McGovern’s career includes more  
than 45 years of recordings, concerts, theater, film, television,  
radio and songwriting.
  Maureen’s #1 Oscar-winning International Gold Record, “THE MORNING  
AFTER” from THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, garnered her first Grammy  
nomination for “Best New Artist,” and her solo album THE PLEASURE OF  
HIS COMPANY, with Emmy/Grammy-winning, jazz pianist, Mike Renzi,  
earned her second Grammy nomination for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal.”  
She was also a featured guest artist on the Grammy Award-winning SONGS  
FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD: THE MUSIC OF MISTER ROGERS.

  Other hits include, “CAN YOU READ MY MIND” from SUPERMAN, the  
Oscar-winning “WE MAY NEVER LOVE LIKE THIS AGAIN” from THE TOWERING  
INFERNO and “DIFFERENT WORLDS” from the TV series ANGIE. In addition  
to hearing her music in films and television, McGovern played the role  
of “Sr. Angelina” in the iconic comedy films AIRPLANE! and AIRPLANE  
II: THE SEQUEL and “Rachel” in JOSEPH: KING OF DREAMS with Ben Affleck.

  Maureen made her Broadway debut in 1981 as “Mabel” in /THE PIRATES  
OF PENZANCE,/ and went on to star as “Luisa” in /NINE/ and “Polly  
Peachum” in /3 PENNY OPERA/ with Sting. In 2005 she was nominated for  
a Drama Desk Award for her role as “Marmee” in /LITTLE WOMEN, THE  
MUSICAL/ on Broadway. She reprised her role as “Marmee” in the 1st  
National Tour of /LITTLE WOMEN/ and starred as “Anna” in the Broadway  
Revival Tour of /THE KING AND I./ In addition, Maureen has performed  
in numerous regional theater productions including /THE LION IN  
WINTER, DEAR WORLD, OF THEE I SING, GUYS AND DOLLS/ and her one-woman  
musical memoir, /CARRY IT ON,/ among others.

  Her recent PS Classics CD, A LONG AND WINDING ROAD, has been praised  
by /The New York Times/ as “…a captivating musical scrapbook from the  
1960’s to the early 70’s. Ms. McGovern’s vocal technique is second to  
none.”

  Maureen’s current release, YOU RAISE ME UP – A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, is  
an intimate yet powerful recording. McGovern says, “We are all a part  
of something much greater than ourselves and connected to each other  
soul to soul. Listen with your heart.”

  For 35 years, Maureen has served the Muscular Dystrophy Association  
as a volunteer, performer, Board Member, Vice President, and  
Chairperson of the record-breaking Shamrocks Against Dystrophy  
Campaign and NYC Telethon Co-Host for 6 years. She supports Music  
Therapy and has been an Artist Spokesperson for the American Music  
Therapy Association since 2001. She is currently a Board Member of  
Medicine and the Arts/Humanism in Medicine at the Ohio State  
University College of Medicine.

  “What raises McGovern above most other artists in her stylistic  
arena is her unique combination of a natural vocal ability,  
knowledgeable musicality and an amiable manner…a world class vocal  
artist.”– /Los Angeles Times/
