Vocalist and writer Christina G. Adams has been thinking about words for as long as she can remember. Her lifelong love of literature and poetry helped foster in her a deep love for American art song, opera, and choral music, where she has enjoyed a rich career as a performer and librettist. Her debut cantata, Becoming, with composer Hans Bridger Heruth is set for release by Centaur Records in autumn 2026. Becoming is a project of the American Prize winning Vox Nova Columbia chamber ensemble, with whom Christina has performed since 2021. Onstage, she appears regularly as a chorister and understudy at Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Chicago Symphony Chorus. Adams holds a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from University of Colorado-Boulder, dual Bachelor’s degrees from University of Missouri in Music and English, and is the recipient of an Encouragement Award from the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions.
