About
Rebecca Hass is a pianist, composer, collaborative pianist, educator, and creative coach in the San Francisco Bay Area dedicated to creative curiosity and joy. She has extensive experience collaborating with classical performers, groups, and movement artists, including Diablo Women’s Chorale, Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choirs, Bella Musica, Payvand Vocal Ensemble, and Opera on Tap SF.
With a deep passion for Brazilian rhythms, Rebecca has been part of the Brazilian music scene in the Bay Area since 2019, and performs solo shows of her own compositions and arrangements, as well as with Som Dela, CWICO (Creative Women Improvising Composers Orchestra), and other groups. Past collaborations include the Berkeley Choro Ensemble with multi-genre bassoonist Paul Hanson, and Echo Chamber Orchestra.
Rebecca’s debut Brazilian album, Florescer (Bloom), was described as “a delightful 43 minutes of musical sunshine”, and her 2024 album of original piano music, Bright Little Worlds, is an imaginative, heart-filled collection of 22 compositions in various styles (Brazilian, jazz, impressionistic, neo-classical, and more), featuring guest musicians Debbie Gold (flute) and Brian Rice (pandeiro).
In 2024 she co-founded the Women Composers Collective, a dynamic community dedicated to amplifying the voices of women composers in the Bay Area and beyond.
Before moving to the Bay Area in 2019, she was also a longtime member of the Minneapolis Brazilian percussion group Batucada do Norte, and a founding member of the Modern Spark Trio, a piano trio with diverse repertoire.
In addition, Rebecca is a creative coach who helps musicians and artists reconnect to joy in their creative practices through curiosity and self-compassion, and hosted the related podcast Being a Whole Person on this topic.
Rebecca holds a Bachelor of Music degree in piano with a concentration in art history and anthropology from Ithaca College, and is a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music through MTNA.
