Amelia Taylor is in her seventh year singing with the Children’s Chorus of Washington, and three years ago, she began studying classical voice with Diane Atherton. During the summer of 2023, she attended Interlochen’s Classical Voice Intensive, and she spent the summer of 2022 as part of the Boston University Tanglewood Institute’s Young Artists Vocal Program.

In the fall of 2023, Amelia placed first in the senior voice division of the AAMS International Competition, and in December she sang the opening solo from “Once in Royal David’s City” as part of the Cathedral Choral Society’s annual Joy of Christmas concert at the Washington National Cathedral. Other highlights include being part of the Street Kid Chorus in the Kennedy Center’s 50th Anniversary production of Leonard Bernstein’s MASS and singing in Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 with The Thirteen in the fall of 2022.

Amelia has also had roles in musical theater productions inside and outside of school, and she does ballet, jazz, and modern dance. In addition, she is a compulsive story writer, and this past summer she had the opportunity to attend the Kenyon Review Young Writers Summer Residential Workshop. She is a senior at Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda, Maryland.
