Praise for Hannah von Wiehler’s debut at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall:

“…conductor Hannah von Wiehler evoked imagery of nature and love in the percussion-rich orchestra.

von Wiehler led the ensemble to a richly colored and sustained performance.”

…Another point of pride for this group is its well-coordinated performances without a conductor. However, having just heard the results von Wiehler was able to achieve in the Thomas performance, one wondered if Tchaikovsky’s Serenade might also have benefited from a guiding hand, both to hold its rhythms steady and to bring out its full scope of romantic expression—in short, to turn an adequate reading into something memorable.”

New York Classical Review

Praise for Hannah von Wiehler’s debut at Opera Holland Park, conducting Eugene Onegin:

[Von Wiehler’s] “guidance and handling of the singers is impressive. She is also particularly good at pacing the dramatic climaxes. And the Letter Scene was just gorgeous, a triumph for both her and Lucy Anderson.”

The Arts Desk

“von Wiehler brought a vivid sense of energy to the performance. Her speeds were not too fast, yet she and the orchestra conveyed a sense of energy and impulse. This was young person’s music, lithe and lively, and full of lovely detail. The City of London Sinfonia clearly responded to Von Wiehler’s direction…”

Planet Hugill

…”hits the spot every time under Hannah von Wiehler’s clear, incisive baton.”
Susan Elkin Reviews

“By keeping a tight rein on Tchaikovky’s lush score, she was able to properly shape the musical progression of the all-important letter scene.”

Art Muse London

“A brilliantly-minded and visionary young conductor of immense promise and talent, deeply musical and with a clear and accomplished technique.”
Jessica Cottis

Conductor

“Although her interests extend far beyond the Russian sphere, it is clearly some of the music von Wiehler knows and loves best. She came into her own in the Tchaikovsky, demonstrating a nuanced knowledge of the score and a great depth of musicality.”
