Rachael is an American soprano based in Lisburn. Born in Pennsylvania, she grew up with music. As a child, she was a member of the Berks Classical Children’s Chorus (now Berks Youth Chorus), and continued on to participate in many prestigious festival choirs through high school. In addition, she was the first place winner at the Lehigh Chapter NATS Singing Competition in 2010. In her early adult years, Rachael had the privilege of singing several principal roles with Pennsylvania Lyric Opera Theatre’s summer productions, including Yum-yum (The Mikado), Mabel (Pirates of Penzance), and Lauretta (Gianni Schicchi). She has featured as a soloist with local Pennsylvania groups through the years, including the historic Ringgold Band, and more recently with New Irish Arts here in Northern Ireland. Since moving to NI, Rachael has been studying with Graeme Danby, and recently appeared in La Traviata with NI Opera. Rachael holds a B.A. in Vocal Performance from Kutztown University, and was the recipient of the Reading Choral Society’s college scholarship competition in 2020.
