Hannah Collins

Cellist Hannah Collins is a dynamic performer devoted to building community through musical expression. Resonance Lines, her debut album on Sono Luminus, is an “adventurous, impressive collection of contemporary solo cello music,” negotiated “with panache” (The Strad), pairing music by Britten and Saariaho with commissions by Caroline Shaw and Thomas Kotcheff. New Morse Code, her “remarkably inventive and resourceful duo” (Gramophone) with percussionist Michael Compitello, has developed projects responding to society’s most pressing issues and were awarded the 2020 Ariel Avant Impact Performance Prize. Hannah has recently performed with A Far Cry, Bach Aria Soloists, and The Knights. She holds degrees in biomedical engineering and music from Yale, Royal Conservatory of The Hague, and CUNY Grad Center. She teaches at the University of Kansas.
