Having obtained her leaver's certificate in harp and voice from the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique de Genève, Céline Hänni enrolled at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Lausanne in Chantal Mathieu's harp class and gained a teaching diploma. In conjunction with a variety of experiences in orchestra and teaching, she continued her training in Danielle Borst's classical singing class at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Genève. She then became very involved in vocal experimentation in different traditions and a broad range of styles. In parallel to her performances of 20th century music and creation of contemporary pieces, improvised music is also prominent. With a sense of curiosity and an interest in all the arts, she enjoys linking her sound discoveries to theatre and graphic arts. She leads both solo and group projects, and in multiple forms: concerts, performances and musicals. Her experience is punctuated with partnerships with artists from very different

horizons, in particular David Moss, Fantazio, Denis Schuler (and the Vortex Ensemble), Vincent Hänni, Alexandre Babel, Hervé Provini, Béatrice Zawodnik and Thierry Simonot. She has performed at many festivals, including Archipel, Antigel, The Arches (Glasgow), Operadagen (Rotterdam) and Who's afraid of performance art (Grütli, Geneva), as well as at events, such as Art's Birthday (Mamco). In 2014-2015, she spent a year in residence at the Swiss Institute in Rome. Her most recent creation was Apparition, for which Ensemble Vide and the theatre Am Stram Gram worked together in Geneva. Her future projects include La gueule ouverte, a large project initiated with Jacques Demierre and Thierry Simonot; Anywhere road, a solo creation for voice and harp; singing workshops at the Am Stram Gram theatre in Geneva and City Club, Pully. In July 2017, Céline Hänni received a bursary for her career from the Fondation Dr. René Liechti.
