Bella Holtz

Bella provides administrative support to the Strategy and Leadership Teams at TPZ. A theatre kid at heart, they hold a B.A. in Playwriting from Smith College. They have had a long career in the nonprofit world including positions at the Northampton Community Music Center, the New England Center for Circus Arts, and the Vermont Jazz Center. Prior to TPZ, they worked in the renewable energy sphere at GRID Alternatives in Oakland, CA helping to advance culture, equity, and administrative goals. The other parts of Bella's life orbit around music, especially big band jazz. You'll find them singing enthusiastically in front of a swing orchestra any chance they get. In their 12+ years onstage, Bella has performed with a cappella sensation Side Note San Francisco and a variety of professional groups on both coasts. A highlight of their career was singing in the 2019 Artists on the Rise series at SFJAZZ. They released a solo EP called Take Me There back in 2015 which is available on all streaming platforms.
