Haydn Mass/Stravinsky Sacre!

Madeline Reynolds is a Southern California soprano who uses her voice to explore many musical genres! She is a second year graduate student in the vocal department at UCLA under the tutelage of Michael Dean. Her opera roles thus far include Anne Trulove in Stravinksy’s The Rake’s Progress, Adina in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore, Maria Maladetto in Richard Danielpour’s new opera The Grand Hotel Tartarus, then in June 2023, Thérèse in Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tirésias. In 2020, she earned a B.M. in vocal performance from Azusa Pacific University where she studied with Angela Blasi. She also studied jazz voice under Jamie Shew at Fullerton Community College for a year. Her most interesting fun fact is that she yodeled for the movie soundtrack of Trolls: World Tour on the song, “Yodel Beat,” in 2019. Find her on instagram (@madelineereynolds)

Tivoli Treloar, “a powerful and fluid mezzo-soprano,” has performed roles including Galatea (Acis and Galatea), Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro), Flora Bervoix (La traviata) and Alisa (Lucia di Lammermoor). Currently, Tivoli is making her professional debut with Long Beach Opera singing the role of The Lover in the world premiere of Kate Soper’s The Romance of the Rose, directed by James Darrah and conducted by Christopher Roundtree. In a glowing review, The Los Angeles Times wrote: “Tivoli Treloar superbly inhabits the stage like a veteran in her extraordinary first professional starring role.” In The New York Times Critic’s Pick: “Radiating a charming mixture of naïveté and intelligence, Tivoli Treloar has a light mezzo-soprano flexible enough to convey all the Lover’s changes of perspective.” Tivoli’s performance was further praised in Random Lengths News, “As The Lover, Treloar’s seemingly effortless command of every note, regardless of how she’s called upon to act or move during the utterance, is just: wow.”

In December 2022, Tivoli was a featured soloist and chorister with GRAMMY®-nominated Seraphic Fire in their annual tour, A Seraphic Fire Christmas. Her work was admired in the South Florida Classical Review: “The straightforward, intimate expression of Tivoli Treloar’s rendering of John Jacob Niles’ ‘I Wonder as I Wonder’ carried its own eloquence.”

Tivoli is finishing her Bachelor of Music degree at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music where she will be singing the principal role of Athena in the world premiere of the new opera, Quake, in June 2023. Tivoli enjoys interpreting new music, and she has performed several contemporary works composed by UCLA faculty and students. Additionally, she has worked with composers including Tom Cipullo, Mark Carlson, and Anne LeBaron.

In 2022, Tivoli was a finalist for the VanderLaan Prize at Opera Grand Rapids where she won the Friends of the Opera Award and a finalist for the Ryan Opera Ensemble at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Last summer, Tivoli attended the prestigious Music Academy of the West Summer Festivalwhere she was a Fellow in the Lehrer Vocal Institute. While there, Tivoli performed in a staged concert featuring the music of Tom Cipullo and covered Mme. Larina in Eugene Onegin. In a night of chamber music, she sang Jake Heggie’s song cycle, The Deepest Desire. Additionally, she performed in Hahn Hall 1922-2022: An Original Cabaret directed by James Darrah, with music direction by Craig Terry. Tivoli was invited to return to Music Academy this upcoming summer 2023, and she will be attending as a second-year Fellow in the Lehrer Vocal Institute.

Tivoli is a dancer and choreographer with many years of training and performance experience. She has danced roles including Rosebud and Arabian Princess in Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, as well as Firebird in scenes from Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Tivoli attended the Bolshoi Ballet Academy Summer Intensive in New York City where she studied with ballet instructors from the academy in Moscow. She also trained with members of the Radio City Rockettes in New York City where she learned their precision dance technique.

Tivoli has choreographed a production of La traviata and has been the Dance Captain for several performance engagements. Recently, she worked with Nicola Bowie as the Assistant Choreographer for the production of Eugene Onegin at Music Academy of the West. Additionally, Tivoli has choreographed and performed in multiple concept videos for the music recitals of her peers at UCLA. Tivoli enjoys collaborating with all types of artists to create exciting new works featuring multiple mediums of art.

Tenor Daniel Coy Babcock continues to enjoy a career as soloist, chorister and vocal instructor in the greater Los Angeles region and beyond. The Orange County Register has written that Mr. Babcock “…sang with projective ease and unadorned phrasing: a heartfelt and unostentatious performance.” Mr. Babcock sang the roles of Rinuccio in Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi and Tom Rakewell in Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress with Opera UCLA. He was a featured soloist in Bach’s St. John Passion in both the finale concert of the Los Angeles Bach Festival and in Pacific Chorale’s performance of the same masterwork in collaboration with Musica Angelica. Mr. Babcock sang the tenor solos in Stravinsky’s Les Noces at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion as part of a touring production by Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal. He can be heard as the tenor soloist in Pacific Chorale’s recording of Rachmaninoff’s Vespers.

Mr. Babcock served for seven seasons as tenor section leader of Pacific Chorale and is an active member of the ensemble. He has sung with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, the Clarion Singers, LA Schola and Bach Collegium San Diego. He has appeared as a member of the Los Angeles Opera Chorus in thirty-five mainstage productions and is a staff singer in the Choir of St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral. Mr. Babcock spent eleven years as a member of the Classical Voice Conservatory faculty at Orange County School of the Arts and plans to teach at the collegiate level after the completion of his doctoral degree. He earned a Master of Music degree in voice performance from UCLA and a Bachelor of Arts degree in musical theatre from the University of Redlands. Mr. Babcock is currently studying with Professor Michael E. Dean in the Doctor of Musical Arts program at UCLA.

Ian Schipper, bass-baritone, enjoys exploring the full range of the vocal musical experience by doing a wide variety of art songs, oratorios, operas, and choral works.  He has recently featured as the Bass Soloist for numerous Bach cantatas and oratorios, including the Magnificat and St John Passion. He has also been featured as a soloist in the masses of Haydn and Mozart, as well as later romantic oratorios such as Fauré’sRequiem. In the choral world, he has served as a staff singer at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland and All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills. He sings Bass with a number of choral groups, both in the Portland and Los Angeles areas.  Ian’s summers have included studying at the Aspen Summer Music Festival and the American Institute of Musical Studies (AIMS) in Graz, Austria. He recently placed 3^rd in the MTNA National Young Artist Voice competition.  Ian also enjoys performing new compositions, having been a founding member and conductor of St Olaf College’s composers’ choir, which provides a space for student composers to have their works performed and experiment within the choral style.

Having received a Bachelor degree in Music and Economics cum Laude at St. Olaf College, Ian now attends the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music, pursuing a Masters Degree in Vocal Performance. Ian currently studies voice with Michael Dean of UCLA; and has studied with Emery Stephens, Robert C. Smith and Wilfred Williams of St. Olaf College; and Michael Meraw of New England Conservatory.
