Transmission
A big passion of Anne is to teach and to pass on her violin skills to young people.
At the Kantonsschule Zürcher Unterland and the Gymnasium Liestal she holds two teaching positions and always seeks for new ways to reach and fill her students with enthousiasm for the violin. Most important for her is to strengthen her students in their own creativity, independence, listening skills and deep understanding of the music.
Belenus Quartett
The Belenus Quartet performs regularly in Switzerland and Germany, but also tours in many different European countries.
It's repertoire ranges from early Haydn Quartets all the way through to contemporary compositions. The Quartet is renown for its crossover-projects and the interaction with fellow contemporary musicians and composers. The performance of "A Tribute to Billie Holiday" at the famous Jazzfestival in St. Moritz with composer and Saxophonplayer Daniel Schnyder gained enormous resonance.

Born in Zurich 1988, into a traditionaly jewish family, Anne grew up in Zurich, Washington D.C. and Basel. She started to play the violin at the age of six and was immediately drawn to the beautiful sound of this instrument.
After graduating from Music-Gymnasium in Basel, Anne pursued her studies at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) with the reknown teacher Nora Chastain. Another important influence she gained from an Erasmus year in Munich, studying with Ingolf Turban, famous for his virtuoso violin playing.
Coming back from Munich, Anne joined the Swiss Belenus Quartet and has won several national and international prizes at competitions with the ensemble, such as the first prize and audience prize at the “Franz Schubert und die Musik der Moderne 2015” competition and a special prize at the “1. International competition for String Quartet Sandor Vegh” in 2012. Chamber music partners as Valentin Erben, Claudius Herrmann and Anna Malikova, with whom the quartet recorded a CD, are regularly on stage with the ensemble.
In 2013 and 2015 Anne finished her Masters of Performance and Masters of Pedagogy with distinction.
Since 2015 she has two teaching positions at the Kantonsschule Zürcher Unterland and the Gymnasium Liestal , where she prepares young violinists for their final exams. Furthermore she is a regular supplementary player in the orchestra of the Opera Zurich.
As a chamber musician, teacher and freelance orchestra player Anne takes many different leads in music. With her new project “Hebrew melodies – a personal journey” she performes mostly unknown repertoire of jewish composers and tells her own personal story.
