Say Yes Before It's Easy | Tamar Greene | TEDxSUNY Oswego

À propos de cette vidéo

Some of the most important opportunities in life arrive before we feel ready for them. Drawing from his journey from a shy student in Rochester, New York, to performing on Broadway, Tamar Greene shares how growth often begins with a simple but difficult choice: saying yes. Through personal stories of uncertainty, risk, and unexpected opportunities, he explores how embracing discomfort can open doors we never imagined and lead us toward a more meaningful life. Tamar Greene is a dynamic artist and educator currently playing George Washington in Broadway’s Hamilton. A classically trained pianist and opera singer, Tamar’s artistry spans multiple genres, from classical and jazz to reggae, gospel, and R&B. His career has taken him across the United States and internationally, with performances that celebrate both technical mastery and storytelling. A first generation American from Rochester, NY, Tamar’s journey from shy child to Broadway stage has been shaped by resilience, teachers who believed in him, and his own willingness to say yes to opportunities that stretched him. Beyond performance, he serves as a clinician and mentor to emerging artists, guiding them to find confidence in their voice and courage in their choices.
