A lyric mezzo-soprano, Dr. Holly Janz is a versatile singing actress with a voice that is evenly blended with clarity, richness and warmth. 

Past credits include a variety of characters from the trouser roles of Cherubino, Hansel and Prince Orlofsky, to the ingénue roles of Nancy (Albert Herring), Valencienne (The Merry Widow) and Phoebe (The Yeoman of the Guard), to the more dramatic roles of Carmen and The Secretary (The Counsul). Dr. Wrensch brings a soulful interpretation to each of these characters and does so with commitment and a palette of vocal colors filled with emotion. In addition to her operatic stage credits, Dr. Wrensch is a compelling concert artist in both oratorio and recital. 

Recently, she received the Irma Cooper Award as a finalist in the National Association Teachers of Singing Artist Award competition in Minneapolis.

Dr. Janz has received degrees in vocal performance from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point (B.M.), the University of Colorado (M.M.) and the University of Kansas (D.M.A.).
