Elise Ebert grew up in Fairfax County, Virginia. She joined choir at age four and has been singing ever since. Choir quickly turned into a passion for opera, which she continues to study under Pamela Beasley at the University of Virginia. In high school, she was involved with her school choir, as well as Virginia All-State, six years of All-District choir, and VMEA Senior Honors Choir. Outside of school, she participated in many operas and operettas, some of her favorites being an abridged version of The Magic Flute (Pamina), H.M.S. Pinafore (Josephine), and Hansel and Gretl (Sandman/Dew Fairy). Elise also loves acting and dance and was a member of her high school’s Dance Team and theatre department. At UVA, Elise is involved with University Singers, First Year Players, Student Council Arts Committee, and recently joined UVA’s premiere all-gender a cappella group, the New Dominions. She is thrilled to be a member of the Miller Arts Scholars and is eager to expand her passion for music alongside these incredible artists.
