"...Hannah Th'ng performed the third movement to Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3. Th'ng's emotional intensity was impressive with thundering opening chords and a euphoric ending..."

BIOGRAPHY

BIOGRAPHY

Hannah started learning the piano at the age of seven, however it was not until she was around thirteen that she began to take music seriously. Under the guidance of Natalia Turkovskaya (practical) and Heather Brittan OAM (theory), she gained her Associate Diploma of Music in 2010 and went on to win a number of competitions and awards including the biennial Gertrude Carey Memorial Award for Piano Recitals and the Dawn Baldwin Award in 2012. She was accepted into the Tel-Hai International Master Classes (Israel) in August 2012 where she spent three weeks in the Negev Desert having lessons with world renowned pianists and pedagogues including Tatiana Zelikman, Ronan O'Hora, Alexander Mndoyants, Aquiles Delle-Vigne, and Asaf Zohar.

 

Following her home-schooling years, Hannah began studies at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2013 under the tutelage of Anna Sleptsova. During her first year, she was a finalist in the prestigious Warana Concerto Competition performing Scriabin’s Piano Concerto in F sharp minor with the Faith Court Orchestra conducted by Christopher Dragon. The following year she was invited to perform the Finale to Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto with the acclaimed percussion group “Defying Gravity” and in September 2015, was chosen to perform for the International Artist Masterclass Program held by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO). 

 

As a collaborative pianist, Hannah has won a number of awards in state eisteddfods and competitions and in 2015, she was a participant of the International Art Song Academy (held at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts), where she had a number of masterclasses with Dr Graham Johnson OBE and Mary King. For a few years, she was also a pianist in the Western Australian Young Artists Chamber Music Program where she performed various piano trios and quartets.

 

Apart from music, Hannah has enjoyed writing since young and has published a short biography on the life of Johann Sebastian Bach.  She is also the author of the children’s story book “What Sammy Learnt”, which won first prize in the Transperth Book Competition, was translated into the Noongar language, and subsequently distributed to local schools and libraries.

 

In 2014, Hannah was invited to be a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society and in the following year was given a Certificate of Recognition and Student Excellence by the Vice-Chancellor in acknowledgement of being part of the Top 100 students in the university.

 

Hannah is the recipient of the Queen's Award as well as the Duke of Edinburgh Award (Bronze and Silver), both of which recognise significant volunteering contributions to the community.

 

In 2017, Hannah was the recipient of the Helen Court Award for the most outstanding final year student as well as the recipient of the prestigious Barbara MacLeod Scholarship which will enable her to further studies with the eminent composer, pianist, and pedagogue Professor Larry Sitsky AO.
