Internationally acclaimed soprano Shirley Close was born into a pastor’s home in Oklahoma. Both her mother and father were preachers, and her mother was well-known for her beautiful singing.

Continuing her musical studies, Shirley received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from Olivet Nazarene University and a Master of Arts degree in Voice from the University of Southern California.
