Biography
Hannah is a professional pianist based in Hertfordshire who is classically trained and a graduate of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Hannah grew up in South Wales and with her mother as the principal of Hebron Piano School, Aberdare, Hannah began learning to play at two years of age. She gained an A grade in GCSE music at the age of thirteen and Grade 8 piano the following year. In her early years she competed in the South Glamorgan Festival for Young Musicians where she won many awards. In 2005, Hannah obtained her ABRSM diploma in solo performance (piano). In 2006, she graduated from the University of Exeter with a first class honours degree in music. Hannah then went on to study for her postgraduate diploma in solo performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, studying piano with Michael Young. Whilst at RWCMD, Hannah played in a variety of masterclasses with pianists such as Bernard Roberts, Penelope Roskell, Leon McCawley and Boris Berman. She also entered the Concerto Trials and Hastings International Piano Concerto Competition with Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto. In 2007, Hannah won the Jacobson Prize.

Hannah now enjoys a varied career as a freelance performer, accompanist and ABRSM examiner. She forms part of the flute and piano duo Tranquillo who released it’s debut album in 2010. Tranquillo have performed at venues including St. David’s Hall, the Wales Millennium Centre, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and regularly provide classical concerts for P&O and Cunard cruise lines, travelling as far as New Zealand. In 2014 she accompanied young Norwegian singer Tomine Mikkeline as she supported Aled Jones on his UK tour, and has more recently worked with celebrity vocal coach Carrie Grant. Hannah is an examiner for ABRSM, both in the UK and internationally, working in places such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Dubai.

Whilst Hannah’s career takes her all around the world she loves every opportunity to perform in the UK; having recently planned her own wedding she understands exactly how it feels to plan the big day and particularly enjoys providing music for couples on such a special occasion.

booked Hannah Ruth for their Wedding in Cornwall

“We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone wanting piano music at their wedding or event! She was exceptional in every way! We wanted some specific songs for the bride’s entrance, signing of the register and exit, and Hannah learnt them all for us. In the run-up to the day she sent us a recording to check we were happy with the tempo and, on the day, everything she played was absolutely perfect! The guests loved her too! Thank you Hannah for contributing to an amazing day we’ll remember forever!”

booked Hannah Ruth for their Wedding at Peterstone Court Hotel in Brecon

“Our wedding day was perfect, we would not have changed anything about it and that included Hannah who provided background music during our evening entertainment (we had a fun casino)! We spoke beforehand and discussed the song list and she was very friendly and accommodating. On the night she arrived on time and played beautifully - this was not only recognised by us but all of our guests also commented on how talented she was. I would not hesitate to recommend Hannah to anyone wanting a pianist for an event. Alive Network was also very professional and made all of the organisation easy - just what we wanted in the lead up to our wedding day!”
