with over 20 years of teaching and performance experience
Hannah will be performing with pianist, Stacy Fehr Regehr. Stacy is an active collaborative artist in the Madison area and performs regularly as a member of both Oakwood Chamber Players and Madison New Music Ensemble. She is also the pianist for Fresco Opera’s Garage Opera series, Opera at Olbrich, and Opera on the Point. For almost two decades, she enjoyed the role of staff accompanist at the School of Madison Ballet. Stacy holds degrees in piano performance with a pedagogy emphasis from Kansas State University and Emporia State University, and has served in adjunct teaching positions at both universities.
The Avanti Piano Trio—Alissa Freeman (piano), Hillary Hempel (violin) and Hannah Wolkstein (cello)—brings “impressive energy and musicality” to every stage. Formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 2018, they’ve since performed across the state in concert series, festivals, live on Wisconsin Public Radio, and on PBS broadcasts.
Driven by a passion to enrich the piano-trio repertoire, The Avanti Piano Trio performs beloved standards and champions a range of styles. They provide a platform for under-explored gems and works by female composers, delivering performances both innovative and rooted in tradition.
