Hannah Harrow - Soprano
Soprano Hannah Harrow, a native of Rochester, has been praised for her “brightness, enthusiasm and directness” (Graham Johnson), as well as her “vocal strength” and “radiant expression” (The Lake Placid News). She received her BM in Vocal Performance from the Eastman School of Music in 2015, and is currently working on her MM degree in the studio of Professor Robert Swensen.
During her time at Eastman, Hannah has performed numerous times with the Eastman Chorale and Eastman Opera Theater. Notable roles include the comedic step-sister Noemie in Massenet’s Cendrillon, Miss Pinkerton in Menotti’s The Old Maid and the Thief and covering both the title role in Puccini’s Suor Angelica and Carmela in Umberto’s Mese Mariano, in addition to performing Suor Dolcina in Suor Angelica. She worked with Jake Heggie and Gene Sheer during EOT’s staged song cycle production Into The Fire, and has received the opportunity to coach a variety of repertoire with visiting artists Mira Zakai and Renee Fleming. This year, she won second prize in the Jessie Kneisel Lieder Competition, adjudicated by renowned collaborative pianist and scholar Graham Johnson.
Hannah regularly sings a variety of operatic, musical theater and concert repertoire with the Lake Placid Sinfonietta during their summer season, and will be a featured artist on their 100th Anniversary recording. When she is not performing, Hannah enjoys teaching her large and enthusiastic studio of voice students at the Eastman Community Music School and working as a Teaching Assistant for the Eastman Voice and Opera Department. She is immensely proud of her hard-working students, who regularly participate in vocal competitions, summer music programs, and sing lead roles in their school musicals. This fall, one of Hannah’s students will attend Eastman to major in Vocal Performance in the studio of Robert Swensen.
Her passion for singing and teaching has also lead her to prisons -- including the infamous Rikers Island Correctional Facility in New York City, where she designed and directed a week-long music workshop for juvenile male inmates. Hannah hopes to not only continue teaching music in prisons, but also pursue a DMA, and someday teach at the collegiate level.
