Hannah Gries

Hannah Gries was born in Limburg in 1996. She began her vocal training at a young age, first with the mezzo-soprano Alison Browner and later with the soprano Sabine Götz in Mannheim. In addition to numerous choral activities she has become a much sought-after concert singer. Her repertoire includes various masses and cantatas by Schubert, Mozart, Bach, Haydn or Tele­mann, including for example the solo cantata Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen by J. S. Bach. In addition, works such as Handel’s Messiah (also in the version by Mozart), as well as Haydn’s Creation, are now part of her repertoire. In June 2017, she made her debut as First Boy in the new production of the Magic Flute at the University of Stuttgart under the direction of UMD Veronika Stoertzenbach. In 2018, she was heard together with the pianist Andreas Frese in Mirjam’s Sieges­gesang by Franz Schubert in the Weilburger Schlosskonzerte. The young soprano is also active abroad, both in choirs and as a soloist, for example in Austria, England, Israel and Korea. In 2014, Hannah Gries won the scholarship of the Kreissparkasse Limburg for young talented musicians. Since October 2015, she has been studying for a BA in singing at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart with Ulrike Sonntag.
