Hannah Rose Kidwell

Chapman soprano Hannah Rose Kidwell ’18 is a winner of the annual Marilyn Horne Song Competition, the nation’s premiere competition for song recitals. Kidwell competed for The Regina Roney Prize (a $5,000 cash award), and the opportunity to perform on a national tour in Santa Barbara, Houston, Chicago, and New York City. She will tour and perform with pianist and fellow-winner Christina Giuca. Guest composer and jurist Jake Heggie wrote a Music Academy of the West-commissioned song cycle for the winners, These Strangers, to make its premiere on the tour.
