Hanna King (Soprano)

Born: Bolton, England

The English soprano, Hannah King, was a student at the prestigious Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, from the age of 14, specialising in both voice and oboe. She went on to study music at Trinity College, Cambridge where she held both choral and instrumental scholarships (2012-2015). She is now a Fellow of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain (NYCGB), with whom she recently appeared on BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’. She was the winner of the 2015 Lady Frances Song Competition and a scholarship holder on the Pembroke Lieder Scheme, receiving tutelage from Joseph Middleton, Joan Rogers, Roderick Williams and Sarah Connolly. She currently studies with Ann de Renais.

Having sung in Trinity College Choir of Cambridge under Stephen Layton for four years, Hannah King is now pursuing a freelance career that includes solo and consort work alongside children’s music education. She has the beginnings of a promising solo career, with forthcoming performances of George Frideric Handel’s Messiah and Alexander’s Feast, Monteverdi’s Vespers and W.A. Mozart’s Requiem. Lieder recitals have included Copland’s Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson, and Leonard Bernstein’s I Hate Music: a Cycle of Five Kid Songs, as well as works by Benjamin Britten, Mussorgsky, Debussy and Igor Stravinsky. On the opera stage, she has performed as Emmie Spashett in B. Britten’s Albert Herring, Mrs P in Michael Nyman’s The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and created the role of the First Narrator in Owain Park’s The Snow Child, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe. She is currently based in London, England. She also sings with The Facade Ensemble, The Trinity Consort, The Peregrine Consort and The Carice Singers.
