 Anna
offers a varied mix of classical, romantic and light music that
can be tailored to suit the occasion and she is happy to consider
any special requests given in advance. She has played for weddings,
in restaurants, for marriage proposals and even in private hotel
suites! Anna is happy to discuss the individual nature of each
booking and plan her music accordingly.
Anna has been fortunate to perform, tour and record in the U.K.
and abroad with big names such as Luciano Pavarotti, Vladimir
Ashkenazy, Simply Red, Il Divo, Gorillaz and the Opera Babes.
Anna
began learning the violin aged 7 and quickly became involved with
many of the orchestras and ensembles in Nottinghamshire, where
she grew up. She auditioned and was accepted at Chetham’s School
of Music, a specialist school in central Manchester to study the
violin with Malcolm Layfield. Anna chose to go to the Royal Academy
of Music in London to study with Howard Davis. There, Anna gained
much experience not only in solo playing but also in chamber and
orchestral techniques and received coaching from some of the world’s
finest musicians. Anna graduated from the Royal Academy with honours.
To date she has played with most of London’s top symphony orchestras
including BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
She
regularly performs with the New London Soloists Orchestra at St.
Martins in the Fields, and has toured extensively across the country
with her chamber ensembles. Anna is the leader and co ordinator
of the Blue Topaz string trio for which she also writes arrangements.
The trio has performed at The Guildhall (City of London), the
Kensington Roof Gardens, for the Canadian Embassy, British Telecom
and for the Royal Bank of Scotland to name but a few. |
