"The Bohemian Fiddler"
• BIOGRAPHY • Hannah Drollinger is a seventh-generation traditional folk fiddler and classically-trained violinist. Her musical career began at the age of 12, when she was invited to perform at the Smithsonian Institute’s, 'Festival of American Folklife'. Since then, she has also appeared on the National Public Radio program, ‘From the Top’, featured as a young, versatile string player comfortable in a variety of musical genres. As a graduate of the Preucil School of Music, Ms. Drollinger has performed with the Cedar Rapids Symphony, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony, the Dubuque Symphony & the Southeast Iowa Symphony Orchestras. Most recently, she played the role of gospel singer, "Denise Sanders", in the musical, 'Smoke on the Mountain', with the Iowa Theatre Artists Company. She also appeared as a country-western swing fiddler in 'Honky Tonk Angels', at The Old Creamery Theatre in the Amana Colonies. Her folk-style musings can be heard on the recording, ‘Rose in the Morning’, (1996) alongside her father and fellow musician, Guy Drollinger. With ease, grace and a natural talent for melody, Ms. Drollinger creates arrangements of traditional American and proper Irish tunes for single fiddler. Currently, Ms. Drollinger resides in her hometown of Iowa City, Iowa. Depending on the weather, she can be seen from a distance, melding performance art with a street musician’s personality; and heard up close, gifting small trinkets of notes to young and old listeners alike.
