Musical Identities of Eastern Europe

April 8, 2023 | 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

$10

Pianist Hannah Comia presents Musical Identities of Eastern Europe, featuring solo piano works of Ukrainian composer Mykola Lysenko, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, and Polish composer Frédéric François Chopin.

A first-generation Filipino American, Hannah performs regularly as a collaborative and solo pianist. She has appeared at the CLA Berkshires summer Mozart festival, the Arabia-Kaikuu Festivaali, the Valissima Institute Young Conductors Program, in recitals at Helsingiin Musiikitalo and Paavalinkirkko, the CMM concert series of CNY, and the Finnish Wagner Society.

As a performer, Hannah takes interest in using music to comment on social issues, historical events, and current world affairs. She also aims to use music to uplift others, particularly those that have been previously excluded from the history of classical music. Hannah’s scholarship and performances have been supported by the American- Scandinavian Foundation, Syracuse Graduate School, Classic Lyric Arts, the SU College of Visual and Performing Arts, the Finlandia-Italia Ry, and the William Paterson Collage Concert scholarship.

Hannah serves on voice/piano faculty at William Paterson University, on staff at St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes, and has served on voice faculty at the JCC MetroWest Triple Summer Theatre Camp. She worked as a piano TA at Syracuse University, where she earned a Master of Music in Piano Performance. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from William Paterson University, and completed post-graduate training at Metropolia UAS & Sibelius Academy. Her main teachers include Steven Heyman, Carl Patrick Bolleia, and Soo Yeon Cho.
