Hannah has developed an excellent reputation in the
Birmingham area as a talented and versatile performing artist. Her most
recent press critique described her portrayal of the soprano role in
Handel’s Alexander’s Feast as ‘honey-toned’ and
‘captivating’ (Birmingham Post).
Hannah graduated form the University of Birmingham
in 2008 with first class honours and was awarded the Roland Gregory
prize by the university after achieving the highest mark in both
performance and her academic studies. Before graduating from the
University of Birmingham Hannah had, however, already started her
professional career as a solo performing artist. Hannah made her
professional debut in 2007 as first soprano in the world premiere of
Fyfe Dangerfield’s In Wait, performed with and specially commissioned by the City
of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with the Guillemots,
for the Birmingham Town Hall Re-opening Festival. Highlights since this
debut include the role of First Fairy in Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Nights Dream,
performed at Symphony Hall with the City of Birmingham Symphony
Orchestra and the City of Birmingham Symphony Youth Chorus and the
soprano role in Orff’s Carmina Burana
at Wolverhampton Grammar School.
