Hannah performed beautifully for our Christmas concert, her wonderful singing made the event really special! She was very easy to communicate with and professional throughout, including learning new arrangements of the music in a short space of time. I would highly recommend Hannah, and would certainly love to hear her sing again at any future events!

Hannah sang beautifully at my father's funeral. My mum said the singing was the highlight of the service. Her voice was perfect for the occasion, and every aspect was completely professional but friendly. I'm sure my late father would have thoroughly enjoyed Hannah's singing, as he was very particular about voices. I would thoroughly recommend Hannah for solo singing at any church service.

It was a pleasure to work with Hannah on Saturday. She was completely professional and punctual throughout our correspondence, and she sang brilliantly at the wedding itself. I would strongly recommend Hannah.

'rising young mezzo soprano with wide vocal range, controlled power and presence...Equally spellbinding in Finzi songs, Mozart arias and emotionally charged Brahms lieder, the highlight was conveying her terror and shock in a scene from Handel’s oratorio Jephtha'
