Biography

As a recorder and bassoon player devoted to the historically informed performance practice, Hannah Voß performs throughout the eras from the Renaissance to the Romantic period with a sure sense of style. She performs as a soloist, in various chamber music ensembles and orchestras, and has taken part in numerous radio and CD recordings. Following the musical practice of the 17th and 18th centuries, in which musicians naturally mastered several instruments, as a multi-instrumentalist she approaches the early music repertoire from different perspectives. Particularly important to her are treating the different nuances of her instruments sensitively and offering a stylistically fitting interpretation. In addition, she shows great interest in contemporary music and is constantly seeking parallels between contemporary works and our society today.

​

Hannah performs regularly with ensembles such as the Netherlands Bach Society, Les Musiciens du Prince, the Freiburger Barockorchester, Vox luminis, B’Rock, Le Concert des Nations, Il Gardellino and Les Talens Lyriques.

She was a member of the Balthasar-NOVA Orchestra, a Young Bach Fellow, a member of the European Union Baroque Orchestra and the Theresia Orchestra, and appeared for several years alongside the European Hanse Ensemble.

​

Most recently, she won the second prize and Audience Award at the International Van Wassenaer Competition with her ensemble, InVent Quintet, as well as being honoured with the ‘Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht Award’. At the International Förderpreis Alte Musik Saarbrücken, her Ensemble dall'acqua received the first prize, and as a soloist she won a first prize at the international recorder competition ‘ORDA’. Additionally, she was awarded various grant prizes, was accepted into the Deutsche Stiftung Musikleben, was a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, and received the #MusikerZukunft scholarship by the Deutsche Orchester-Stiftung.
 

After completing her bachelor's degree in recorder with Dörte Nienstedt and Han Tol at the University of Arts Bremen, she undertook her master's degree at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. She graduated with excellence in baroque bassoon with Benny Aghassi and specialised with her second main subject, recorder, in contemporary music in the class of Jorge Isaac and Hester Groenleer.

​

Alongside her concert activities, Hannah teaches baroque bassoon at the Freiburg University of Music as of April 2026.
