Hannah Baumann is a musician, dramaturge, writer and educator. As an oboist, she performs on stage; as a dramaturge and educator, she initiates and stages performances: For her, music and scene are means for interpersonal encounters. Through sound, language and participation, her stage formats tell of everyday human realities and the great universals.
Hannah is co-founder of the award-winning collective Godot Komplex, which creates aesthetically mediated and participatory experiential spaces. She has created works for the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Mozartfest Würzburg and the HIDALGO Festival, among others.
She studied the oboe at the conservatories of Rostock, Weimar and the Conservatoire (CNSMD) in Lyon. Today she plays in major symphony orchestras such as the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra, at festivals such as the Rheingau Music Festival or Wien Modern and as a chamber musician at Podium Esslingen.
Hannah was a stage academist at TONALi, a scholarship holder at Concerto21 of the Alfred Toepfer Foundation and also studied Music in Context – Music Education at the Bruckner University Linz. She writes both for the stage and for academia, and her work has been published in the International Journal of Music Mediation and Klangakt magazine, among others. She lives and works in Vienna.
