Eva Kuhn lives and works as a freelance composer, mezzo-soprano, and secondary school teacher of music and mathematics in Munich and Tutzing. She completed her teacher training studies (First State Examination in 2021, Second State Examination in 2024) at the University of Music and the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg.
In autumn 2020, she began studying composition with Prof. Moritz Eggert as well as artistic-pedagogical vocal studies with Prof. Monika Riedler at the University of Music and Theatre Munich, where she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in composition.
A particular focus of her compositional work lies in vocal music in various settings. In addition to numerous songs and choral works, she composed the music for the music theatre production “Anna & Eve” (Neuköllner Oper Berlin) in 2024. In 2025, she was Composer in Residence with the renowned vocal ensemble Singer Pur. In the same year, she won the composition competition of the Landesbühnen Sachsen, for which she is currently composing the children’s opera “Rico, Oskar and the Deeper Shadows”, based on the novel of the same name by Andreas Steinhöfel.
As a singer, she performs in various formations, particularly in the fields of early and contemporary music. Since 2024, she has been a member of the ensemble ECetra together with Valentin Penninger and Sarah Luisa Wurmer. Together with Duo Hadassa, she was awarded the City of Munich’s Music Scholarship in 2024 for the concert concept “zeitgelöst”, as well as recognition from Kultursommer Rheinland-Pfalz in 2025.
Alongside her work as a teacher – currently at Gymnasium Gröbenzell – Eva Kuhn is engaged in music education and outreach formats. From 2015 to 2021, she worked as a choir director with ensembles ranging from children to senior citizens. In 2018, she led a multi-month composition project at a secondary school in Würzburg, the results of which were presented in a final concert at the University of Music Würzburg. She is currently involved in a composition project in collaboration with the Ben-Haim Research Centre of the University of Music and Theatre Munich and the asambura ensemble, in which eleventh-grade students explore transformations in remembrance culture and develop short sonic miniatures based on their reflections.
