| Abstract | Classical singer and educator Barbara Wright-Pryor was born Barbara Wright in Stamps, Arkansas. Wright-Pryor attended Willard School and graduated from Chicago's Wendell Phillips High School in 1951. A mezzo-contralto, Wright-Pryor studied voice as she pursued an undergraduate degree from Roosevelt University, Chicago State University and Chicago Conservatory of Music, where she majored in vocal performance. She received her M.A. degree, magna cum laude, from Roosevelt University. Over the years, Wright-Pryor performed with the members of Chicago's Lyric Opera, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, South Shore Philharmonic, Southside Family Chamber Orchestra and String Quartet and the Chicago Park District Orchestra. Her musical accomplishments were achieved while serving for thirty-five years as counselor-educator with the Chicago Public Schools and adjunct professor at DePaul University.
