Joanna Simon (mezzo-soprano)
Joanna Simon (born October 20, 1940) is an American mezzo-soprano and currently a Manhattan-based real estate broker. She is the sister of musicians Carly and Lucy Simon (see also Simon Sisters).
==Early life==
Joanna Simon was born in New York City, the daughter of the co-founder of the book publisher Simon & Schuster, Inc., Richard L. Simon and Andrea (Heinemann) Simon, a former switchboard operator, civil rights activist, and singer. Her father was Jewish and her mother was Roman Catholic of half Spanish and half Swiss descent.〔Weller, Sheila (Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--and the Journey of a Generation ) Washington Square Press 2009〕 Family lore holds that Joanna's grandmother was also of partial "Moorish" origin based on her exotic looks.〔〔(The Bill Miller Show: "Carly Simon - YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS SONG IS ABOUT YOU - An Interview With Carly Simon ) 2007〕
Simon grew up in Fieldston, a section of Riverdale in the Bronx.〔Jackson, Nancy Beth. ("If You're Thinking of Living In/Fieldston; A Leafy Enclave in the Hills of the Bronx" ), ''The New York Times'', February 17, 2002. Accessed May 3, 2008. "After World War II, Richard Simon, founder of Simon & Schuster, bought a Georgian red-brick Baum house where he brought up his three musical daughters: Joanna, Lucy and Carly."〕 The eldest of four, her sisters are rock musician, singer and songwriter Carly Simon (b. 1945), musician and composer Lucy Simon (b. 1943), and younger brother, Peter Simon (b. 1947), a photo journalist.
Joanna began piano lessons at the age of six, and then became interested in acting while in high school, deciding that was to be her career. Acting continued until half way through college, when she became interested in the art of musical comedy. Singing lessons commenced at this point with Dr. Marion Freschl, who advised her to switch to opera. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, majoring in philosophy. Opera studies continued with Dr. Freschl and then at the International Opera Studio directed by Herbert Graf in Zurich and at Spoleto with Gian Carlo Menotti.
