Soprano Adrienne Danrich visits Winton Woods choirs

As part of the Duncanson Artist-in-Residence Program at the Taft Museum, soprano Adrienne Danrich visited Winton Woods High School on Monday, October 3 to spend time with students in the school’s choirs. “Ms Danrich was so approachable and did a great job relating to the kids in ways that they could understand,” said Choir Director David Bell. “Between her comments to the kids and the hands-on work she did with our Master Class student, she was superb. We were so lucky to have such a world class talent in our classroom.”

Danrich is an alumna of Eastman School of Music and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. She made her professional debut as Pamina in Mozart’s Die Zaubeflöte with the Kentucky Opera and has performed across the country in some of history’s most well known operas. She has also performed as a soloist at Carnegie Hall.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Duncanson Artist-in-Residence program, the Robert S. Duncanson Society of the Taft Museum of Art has selected three artists for this year’s residency: soprano Adrienne Danrich, jazz violinist John Blake Jr., and singer/songwriter Tracy Walker. Each artist will be in residence for approximately one week beginning in October and continuing through November. They will give public performances and engage in educational outreach activities for students and adults.
