“…Adrienne Lotto offered springwater purity, flawless attack and jaw-dropping accuracy in traipsing through complicated Handelian coloratura.” — Opera News

Adrienne is a New York-based soprano whose musical interests range from Perotin to Purcell, to Pierrot Lunaire and beyond.

A graduate of the Yale School of Music, she studied with leading early music specialists James Taylor and Bernarda Fink and earned a certificate from the Institute of Sacred Music as a member of the Voxtet. In her time at Yale, she performed and toured with the Schola Cantorum and was a featured soloist in performances conducted by David Hill, Nicholas McGegan, Masaaki Suzuki, Paul Hillier, and Peter Oundjian.

Adrienne earned a B.F.A. from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where she sang with the Pittsburgh Camerata and Chatham Baroque. She was also a founding member of Ping, a vocal quintet dedicated to performances of early music and new commissions by young composers.

Since moving to New York, she has performed with the opera chorus of Teatro Nuovo, the Apollo’s Fire Singers with the New York Philharmonic, the Bard Festival Chorale, Parthenia Viol Consort, Pomerium, and has collaborated with the medieval ensemble Alkemie in recordings and live concerts. Adrienne has also joined forces with harpsichordist Jonathan Salamon to form Quilliam Byrd, a duo committed to presenting rarely-heard repertoire with dramatic flair.

As a soloist, Adrienne has appeared with the Berkshire Bach Society, the Oratorio Society of New Jersey, and the New Haven Symphony Orchestra in their 2021 and 2023 performances of Handel’s Messiah.

A sought-after sacred music specialist, Adrienne sings regularly with the choirs of St. Luke in the Fields and Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. She serves as the High Holy Day cantor for Beth Am, The People’s Temple.
