“Hickman handled everything extremely well, underplaying her hand by making these extended techniques seem easy to do while controlling the saxophone with the utmost care.”

~ Boston Musical Intelligencer

“Hickman…played with such restraint and delicacy that the sax sounded like flute”

~ Classical Voice North America

“I greatly appreciated Hannah’s musicality, technique, ease on stage, and excellent rapport with the string section. Bravo for this brilliant interpretation!”

I’m currently exploring partnerships with retirement communities, university outreach programs, and community music organizations to bring these ideas to life.
