LIana Greger
Liana Greger, soprano, is a Boston-based performer and scholar whose work bridges expressive artistry, vocal science, and thoughtful pedagogy. Grounded in science-based vocal pedagogy, Greger approaches teaching with joy, patience, and flexibility, recognizing the voice as a uniquely intimate and human instrument. Central to her work as an educator is the cultivation of mutual respect between student and teacher, which she believes is essential for fostering vocal comfort, health, and a genuine enjoyment of singing. Through lessons that are both exploratory and appropriately challenging, she guides students toward discovering not only their voices, but themselves.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Greger earned her Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Puget Sound, where she studied under Dr. Dawn Padula. During her undergraduate studies, she was awarded the Delwen and Genevieve Jones Music Scholarship and won the 2024 University of Puget Sound Concerto Aria Competition. Her winning showcase featured repertoire including “Ah! je veux vivre!” (Roméo et Juliette), “Ach, ich fühl’s” (Die Zauberflöte), and “Spiel ich die Unschuld vom Lande” (Die Fledermaus).
In addition to her performance work, Greger is an active scholar whose research explores identity and inclusion within classical music education. In 2023, she published the article “Gender, Self-Identity, and Vocal Music Education: Student Experiences at the University of Puget Sound in the 1990s,” examining how collegiate vocal training shapes musicians’ identity formation, particularly through the lens of gendered traditions embedded in classical music culture.
Greger’s operatic experience includes performances with the Puget Sound School of Music Opera Theater as Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance and Cinderella in Into the Woods, as well as scene work portraying roles such as Pamina (The Magic Flute) and Lily Craven (The Secret Garden). She is currently pursuing her Master of Music in Vocal Performance at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she studies with Dr. Kerry Deal. Her recent performances with Boston Conservatory Opera include ensemble work in Così fan tutte, Pousette in scenes from Massenet’s Manon, and Voice 3 in Mark Adamo’s Little Women.
As both an artist and educator, Greger is committed to creating learning spaces that are grounded in curiosity, respect, and vocal health—supporting singers as they develop technical confidence, artistic authenticity, and a deeper connection to their own voices.
