bio

Anneke grew up in Denver, CO where she started playing violin at the age of 8. She studied all through high school and college, receiving her bachelor's degree in violin performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts under the tutelage of Almita Vamos, MingHuan Xu, and Frank Almond. After graduating, she moved to Telluride, CO to explore different music genres and be a part time ski bum. She met her bandmates, Birds of Play in 2020 and has been touring all over the western states with them for the better part of the last 4 years. 

 

Shortly after joining the band, Anneke began to find her own voice in singing and songwriting, and has started performing as a solo artist around Telluride. 

 

With support from a grant from Telluride Arts and Augment, "Unfamiliar Skies EP" will be Anneke's first formal recording of her solo songwriting. The EP will be comprised of six original songs written over the course of the last three years. She plans to record this EP in Ridgway in the summer of 2024.
