Bio
Paige Patrick is professional vocalist, music educator and vocal coach with a passion for great singing. She has performed with countless bands, opera groups and ensembles, most recently with the San Francisco Choral Society and the Kensington Symphony. Paige specializes in teaching vocal technique and helping aspiring singers develop their own unique sound and style in jazz, pop, opera, folk, musical theater and more.
The Texas-born soprano got her start in high school choir, specializing in sightreading and jazz vocals. She quickly discovered opera in college, but held onto jazz through her schooling. She holds a BM in Vocal Music Education from Texas State University and an MM in Vocal Performance from the University of Tennessee – Knoxville.
After her masters, Paige served as Liberal Arts faculty at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville from 2010-2014, lecturing in Music Appreciation and teaching private studio voice lessons for majors and non-majors.
When she’s not teaching, she is either working in the nonprofit world or performing opera, choral music, jazz, and cabaret. Most recently she debuted a world-premiere piece, “A Musician’s Life” by Mark Narins with the Kensington Symphony. In 2019 she appeared with the San Francisco Choral Society for Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle and Bayshore Lyric Opera as Despina in Cosi fan tutte, and Clotilda in Norma.
Past stage appearances include Musetta (La Boheme), Amelia (Un Ballo in Maschera), Blanche de la Force (Dialogues of the Carmelites), Rosalinda (Die Fledermaus), Leonora (Il Trovatore, La Forza del Destino) Rose Maurrant (Street Scene), Donna Elvira (Don Giovanni), Ann Putnam (The Crucible), and Alma Way (The Village Singer), and Katherina Cavalieri (Amadeus).
