Hanna Zumsande

Hanna Zumsande is a German mezzo-soprano known for her work in Baroque opera and oratorio. She frequently performs works by composers like Handel, Bach, and lesser-known figures such as Carl Heinrich Graun and Georg Caspar Schürmann. Her repertoire demonstrates a clear passion for historically informed performance and rediscovering forgotten gems of the Baroque era. You'll often find her collaborating with period instrument ensembles, bringing a fresh and vibrant approach to these historically significant works.

Zumsande's recent recordings showcase her versatility, tackling both dramatic roles in operas like *Iphigenia in Aulis* and *Polydorus* and the introspective spirituality of Bach's *St. Matthew Passion*. Her commitment to exploring a wide range of Baroque repertoire makes her a fascinating artist to follow for anyone interested in this period of music history.
