Kayleigh Sprouse

Kayleigh Sprouse is a second-year student pursuing a Master of Music in Voice Performance and Pedagogy under Ah Young Hong. She is currently the Vocal Ensemble Intern under Dr. Beth Willer and is a Teaching Assistant for Peabody’s Breakthrough Curriculum.

Sprouse finds artistic liberty and expression through theatrical and solo performances. Her most recent operatic performance occurred with the Peabody Opera Theater, in which she performed scenes from Handel’s Orlando as Angelica. Her most recent recital performance was with The Cecilia Collective during a recital promoting the lost lieder of Josephine Lang. In February, she will perform Diana in Cavalli’s La Calisto with Peabody Opera Theater.

Sprouse’s career focuses on ensemble works and collaboration, exploring how multiple solo voices can create one artistic idea. This past summer, Sprouse spent a week studying and performing Henry Purcell’s anthems, odes, and operas at the Chorworks Festival. Sprouse currently performs with Peabody’s NEXT Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Beth Willer and will be performing as a core member of the Emmanuel Church Choir this upcoming season. She is currently a mentee in the Talks with TENET program.

Sprouse enjoys branching her musical aspirations through leadership and research endeavors. Most recently, Sprouse received Peabody’s Launch Grant to support her research on “The Menstrual Cycle and how it Affects Vocal Production.” This literary research was presented at Christopher Newport University’s PAIDEIA research conference.
