{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2018}}{{Use British English|date=January 2018}}Hannah Kendall (born 1984 in London) is a British composer.[1]

Background and education

Kendall grew up in Wembley, where her mother is the head teacher in a primary school.[1] One of two children, her parents are originally from Guyana. Her grandfather was a jazz musician and her family stimulated the creative arts.[1] Kendall attended the University of Exeter where she majored in vocal studies and composition. She also gained a Masters at the Royal College of Music and studied arts management at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.[2]

In 2015, Kendall was noted as one of the "brilliant female composers under the age of 35".[3] She featured on BBC Radio 3's Composer of the Week.[4] All five composers of the week were women and this was part of Radio 3’s International Women’s Day celebrations, which were highlighted in The Guardian.[5]

Her one-man chamber opera The Knife of Dawn, with a libretto by Tessa McWatt and based on the incarceration of political activist Martin Carter in the then British Guiana in 1953 was premiered in 2016 at the Roundhouse.[6][7]

In 2015 Kendall won a 'Women of the Future Award' in the Arts and Culture category.[8] Her piece The Spark Catchers premiered at the Proms in August 2017 and is inspired by the work of Lemn Sissay.[1]

Kendall has worked for both the Barbican and London Music Masters charity in arts management roles.[1]
