ANDREA HOLLIDAY has presented dozens of virtuosic art-song programs at diverse venues. She has collaborated with fine pianists including Michael Cullen and Kimberly Schmidt; but her most frequent accompanist has been her husband, Thomas Wikman, who performs at the White Lake Chamber Music Festival as organist, harpsichordist and conductor. The duo cultivated a specialized, highly Romantic repertoire featuring seldom-heard works by Russian and Mediterranean composers.
Balancing her Romantic side -- with occasional forays into cabaret and other genres – are Classical and Baroque masterworks, particularly those of J.S. Bach. As a concert soloist, Ms. Holliday appeared repeatedly with the Michigan Bach Collegium; with the Rockford Bach Chamber Choir; and in Bach cantata programs at St. Luke's Evangelical Church, Chicago, and Grace Lutheran Church, River Forest. She has sung for Oak Park’s Handel Week festival, and for the Downers Grove Choral Society in many works including Bach’s B minor Mass. She has been heard in many of the larger concert works of Mozart, Haydn, Handel and Vivaldi -- including a Mozart Requiem some years ago with Muskegon Chamber Choir.
Ms. Holliday maintains a private voice studio in Chicago. She enjoys working on vocal technique with actors as well as singers, and cultivates a passion for Shakespeare. She just finished directing an abridged production of Much Ado About Nothing.
