About Stephanie Ann Ball:

Passionate about sharing the joy of classical music, Ms. Ball actively engages her community through educational outreach with organizations like Opera Theatre of Saint Louis' Artist in Training Preparatory Program, Arizona Opera, and Central City Opera. Her journey into classical voice began in childhood, influenced by her parents—her father, a funk drummer, and her mother, who introduced her to classical and gospel music. A natural performer, she discovered her love for opera in high school, continuing her studies at Northern Arizona University and earning a Master's Degree in Vocal Performance from Washington University in St. Louis. Now based in Philadelphia, she is becoming part of its musical community. Offstage, she enjoys pastries, browsing animal rescue sites for bunnies, and wandering around an office supply store.
