Robin Hahn is a Vancouver, CA-based soprano with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and POTS. She is a performer, director, coach, and disability advocate. Her work with Opera Mariposa unites her passions as Canada’s first disability run opera company. Sharing her diagnosis in common with Claire, they discuss the realities of being disabled in the operatic world, experiences navigating a custom career structure, and coming to terms with the griefs and joys of life in a disabled body.

In this podcast, hosts Claire Barber and Emily Zwijack explore the occasionally uncomfortable dynamics that come with being a classical musician, surviving music school, the struggles of mental and physical health, abusive power dynamics, and so much more.
Barber (mezzo, 27, classical vocal performance BFA, 2020) and Zwijack (violinist, 22, violin performance and music education BM, 2024) are dedicated to creating a safer, trauma informed space for classical musicians who have survived abuse, burnout, disability, chronic illness, and discrimination.
