• B.A. Voice and Opera Performance; Northwestern University

​

​

Lauren Biglow grew up in Los Altos, California, and began taking voice and cello lessons at 10 years of age at the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View. The child of a musical household, she grew up singing barbershop harmonies with her family, since one of her parents co-founded Stanford University's Fleet Street Singers.

 

Lauren played cello in school orchestra for her entire childhood, performed at Peninsula Youth Theatre in Mountain View, and later toured internationally with the Los Altos High School Main Street Singers. She went on to attend Northwestern University, where she earned a B.M. in Voice and Opera Performance and a B.A. in Spanish (2016). After graduating, she sang with the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the Grant Park Chorus, the Chicago Bach Project, and did a fellowship with The Crossing (based in Philadelphia).

 

Her love of Spanish then took her to Madrid, Spain, where she earned an M.A. in Spanish Linguistics (2019), then to Monterey, California for her M.A. in Spanish Translation & Interpretation (2022). Both language degrees were through Middlebury College, which is based in Vermont.

 

Lauren moved back to the South Bay Area in the summer of 2022, and now freelances as a music teacher, vocal coach, professional choral singer, musical theater artist, social media coordinator, Spanish tutor, and translator-interpreter (mostly in the insurance/healthcare field). She currently works as a church musician at First Congregational Church of Palo Alto and sings with Volti SF and Convivium Choir (Los Altos), also performing in local musical theatre productions with Redwood Symphony, Woodside Musical Theatre, and Hillbarn Theatre. Her teaching style is rooted in the fact that music can be fun, rewarding, mindful, and healing for anyone who chooses to practice it.
