Hannah Featured on Ensemble Modern's Podcast 'Nebenstimmen'

Hannah has been featured on the latest episode of Ensemble Modern's podcast Nebenstimmen, which brings conversations on music, art and life between Ensemble Modern members and conversation partners chosen by them. In this episode, double bassist and Ensemble Modern member Paul Cannon speaks with Hannah. The collaboration between her and the ensemble began in 2020 with the project 'Afromodernism in contemporary music'. In 2022 Ensemble Modern premiered Hannah's work shouting forever into the receiver at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, which went on the win the Ivor Novello Award for Best Large Ensemble Composition in 2023. The ensemble also performed Even sweetness can scratch the throat (2023) in May 2026 in a portrait concert of Hannah's music as part of 'Happy New Ears'. Both works explore colonialism, the transatlantic slave trade and practices of remembrance. Together, Hannah and Paul talk about these two pieces, how auxiliary instruments such as dreadlock cuffs and music boxes can shape the direction of a work, and why listening without expectation matters so deeply.
