Miriam Hanika Quartet Inner Life

Lyrics ‘reminiscent of the poems of Mascha Kaleko or Erich Kästner’ (WDR4), a ‘warm-sounding, benevolent singing voice that guides you through a wonderfully timeless event’ (Good Times) and an oboe degree that ‘gives her a stable foundation and wings’ (hr2 kultur) - Miriam Hanika is all that. Above all, however, the musician's playful alternation between voice, oboe, cor anglais and piano makes her an exceptional phenomenon that defies all conventions and sets new standards as a multi-instrumentalist. Lyrical texts, a warm oboe tone and unusual arrangements, solo or with the Poesie Orchester - Miriam Hanika's sound cosmos bathes in the boundlessness of music.
She has won numerous songwriting competitions (including the Peter-Rohland-Singe-Wettstreit, Friedenssong-Wettbewerb Bonn). In 2024 she is the winner of the Hanns-Seidel-Foundation award (award for young singer-songwriters). In 2021, Miriam Hanika received the Scholarship for Music from the City of Munich and was a finalist in the international Piazzolla Music Competition together with percussionist Simon Popp. With the Dandelion Quintet, she won first prize in the 2019 Ars Ventus International Chamber Music Competition.
Miriam Hanika has been releasing her albums on Konstantin Wecker's Sturm & Klang label since 2019. Her second album ‘Louise’ (2021) was nominated for the German Record Award. With her current release ‘Wurzeln & Flügel’ (2023), she is currently on tour throughout Germany. In March 2025, her next album *innenleben (a collaboration with the Poesie Orchester and the Dandelion Quintett) will be released, which Miriam Hanika has dedicated to femininity in all its facets.
