ABOUT
Originally from Albany, NY, Holly McCormack’s performances and studies have taken her across the U.S. and into Europe. She has been praised for her warm, clear soprano voice and her ability to touch audiences by honestly conveying the human experience.
An active performer, Holly was most recently seen as a soloist in the profoundly beautiful oratorio, Considering Matthew Shepard, in West Hollywood, CA, with the Metropolitan Master Chorale. Additionally, in 2019, she performed the role of Suor Osmina in Puccini’s Suor Angelica with Mission Opera in Los Angeles. Other stage credits include Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), Governess (cover) (The Turn of the Screw), Suzel (L'amico Fritz), and Papagena (Die Zauberflöte).
In addition to stage performances, Holly has been active in cabaret, producing and performing her own, full-length solo cabaret shows at venues such as Gardenia (West Hollywood), The Mint (Los Angeles) and the Strand Theater (Hudson Falls, NY).
Holly enjoys collaborating with other musicians. In 2015, she co-founded original voice and cello duo,
Cello Voce, with cellist, Brian Donat. Together they performed over 20 concerts of an eclectic mix of their original arrangements throughout New York and New Jersey.
Holly received her B.M. in Voice Performance from SUNY Purchase, and her M.M. in Voice Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts. Additionally, Holly completed an AGMA-level apprenticeship with Chicago Opera Theater. She had the outstanding experience of studying French chanson on the French Riviera at the Académie Internationale d’Eté de Nice, France, and role preparation with Martina Arroyo at Indiana University. Holly studied acting in NYC with Tom Todoroff Studio. Holly studies voice with Andrew M. Byrne in NYC, and is committed to a life of learning and growth as a performer, teacher, and a person.
