Anika Hille – Past Concerts

Originally from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mezzo-soprano Anika Hille earned her Bachelors of Music Education from Pacific Lutheran University, where she studied voice with Soon Cho, composition with Gina Gillie, and conducting with Richard Nance. In her time at PLU, Anika sang with Choir of the West for four years, served as Assistant Conductor for the PLU University Singers, participated in the 2022 NW ACDA Conducting Masterclass with Edith Copley, and completed her student teaching with Jon Stenson at Auburn Riverside High School. Anika is excited to be making her Vashon Opera debut, and hopes to take advantage of the professional opportunities available in the Seattle/Tacoma area before pursuing a master's degree in choral conducting at Georgia State University. She hopes to one day earn a DMA in conducting and teach at the collegiate level. Recent performances include Carmina Burana with the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Usher in Trial by Jury, and Simply Symphonic "the Orchestra Rocks!" with the Tacoma Symphony. Anika is a current member of Choral Union and the PLU Alumni Steel Pan Band, and she enjoys hiking, skiing, traveling, and composing in her free time.
