Hannah made her solo debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at 14 and has also played with the orchestras of Temple University, Bryn Athyn, and the Old York Symphony.  At 16 she was accepted to the Curtis Institute of Music, where she received her Bachelor's.  She has won numerous competitions including the Temple University concerto competition, the Mann Center competition, and the Irving M. Klein International Competition.  She has taught at Temple Music Prep and played with The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia and Baltimore Symphony.

How did she get involved with Pieris?

A few years ago, Pieris Music Founder Eric Haeker, was working with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia when a recent Curtis graduate came in to audition.  Impressed by her ability (she got the job easily!) and her outspoken interest in hip hop and other “non classical” forms, Eric recruited Hannah to serve as lead violinist in his first experimental project at Fluid Nightclub in 2003.  Since then, Hannah has been a veteran player in most Pieris projects from The Kimmel Center and Carnegie Hall to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
