Johanna Will

Johanna Will was born in Munich and grew up in Dresden. Early instrumental lessons provided her entry into music, and at the age of 11 she began singing lessons at the Heinrich Schütz Konservatorium in Dresden. Several master classes with Professor Kurt Widmer (Basel) led to private studies with him beginning in 2012. Following her Abitur she studied Romance languages at the Technical Universität Dresden.

From 2015-2018 Johanna studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg in the class of Professor Carolyn Grace James, where she earned her Bachelor of Music degree. Highlights of her studies in Hamburg include the role of the Hexe in Hänsel and Gretel and the soprano solo in Zemlinsky's Lyrische Symphonie with the Hamburger Symphoniker.

In 2018 a full scholarship to the Mannes School of Music brought Johanna to New York City. After completing her Master’s degree with Ruth Falcon (†2020), she extended her academic training under Professor Arthur Levy and was awarded a Professional Studies Diploma in Voice in 2022, each with highest distinction.
