Hannah Schmidt

“I’m a music journalist and organist based in Dortmund/ Germany, writing and speaking about artists, CDs, operas, festivals and current intersectional feminist debates shaping the classical music scene. The platforms on which I publish are i.a. DIE ZEIT, VAN, WDR3, SWR2, Die Deutsche Bühne and deutschlandfunk.

In June 2023, I was chosen as the winner of the Reinhard-Schulz-Preis (RSP) for contemporary music journalism, which the International Music Institute Darmstadt awards every two years. Here you can read my acceptance speech.”
