A champion of new classical music, Hannigan has performed over 80 world premieres. The Berlin https://www.newyorkbanners.com/wp-content.php?=cheap-propecia-online Philharmonic’s Simon Rattle says of Hannigan, “She’s fearless and she has technique and brains to burn. So, we’re just lucky to have her on the same planet at the same time.” Hannigan is also a conductor, a field in which there is still a glass ceiling for women.

Hannigan performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra earlier in February. Check out her work if you want to be swept away by new music!
