When she is not rehearsing in large ensembles or chamber groups, Hannah is a freelance oboist eager to play in any sort of group. This past year she performed as the second oboist of the Boston Civic Symphony, and as the principal oboist of the Weston Wind Quintet. She has also played with Boston’s Kammerwerke Double Wind Quintet, working on new compositions written specifically for that unique group, and recorded the compositions from students at the Berklee School of Music, where she doubled on oboe and English horn. No matter the group or the piece, Hannah finds sheer enjoyment from playing with others and making music.
​
Hannah has enjoyed lessons from top oboists including John Ferrillo and Mark McEwen of the Boston Symphony, Eugene Izotov of the San Francisco Symphony, and Michael Lisicky of the Baltimore Symphony. She has also participated in master classes with Russ deLuna of the San Francisco Symphony, and Melissa Hooper of the Baltimore Symphony.
