Artistic Director - Adeline Hollingsworth

Adeline Hollingsworth has performed as a vocal soloist and choral singer across the world, including in New Orleans, Washington DC, the Aveyron region in France, and on the Carnegie Hall stage. A versatile performer capable of singing across all four traditional voice parts and with experience in various styles ranging from classical to jazz and rock, she has portrayed principal roles of varying Fach in multiple operas, including Die lustige Witwe, The Beggar’s Opera, and Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor. In the course of fulfilling her BM (2021) in Vocal Performance and Choral Music Education from California State University, Stanislaus, Adeline studied choral methods with Julie Dana and Dr. Daniel Afonso, as well as solo classical voice with Dr. Joseph Wiggett and Rebecca Sarkisian, and was awarded the Dean’s Medal of Excellence and the Music Department Outstanding Student award for her scholastic efforts in 2021. Since then, Adeline has returned to Fresno, CA and has been extremely active locally. She sings as a professional soloist, has arranged music for local choirs, teaches both traditional classical voice and gender-affirming voice care in her private voice studio, and since 2023 has sung Alto for the prestigious women’s quintet Altissima with the Fresno Master Chorale. Adeline currently serves as the Choral Assistant and Instructor of Vocal Studies at University High School. She plans to pursue a Master’s Degree in Choral Conducting in the coming years, with a focus on diversity-inclusive choral pedagogy.
