Anna Maria Wünsch (26)

Anna Maria began to play the violin at the age of four until she fell in love with the viola when she was 14 years old. Until 2019 she studied with Gareth Lubbe at the Folkwang University of Arts Essen, where she finished her Bachelor studies with distinction.
In those years she was supported by a scholarship of the Dörkenstiftung and the Mozart Gesellschaft Dortmund. They enabled her to create her own concert evenings and to play as a soloist with many orchestras, like the dogma chamber orchestra.

During the season 18/19 she was academist of the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam, where she learned from inspiring artists, such as Philip Herreweghe, Bernard Haitink, Herbert Blomstedt and Valerie Gergiev. From this point she fell in love with orchestra playing and Amsterdam.

Since 2019 she is a student of Hartmut Rohde at the University of Arts Berlin.

As a passionate chamber musician she participated in many masterclasses and learned from members of the Fauré Quartet, the Artemis Quartet, Viviane Hagner, Schmuel Ashkenazy and others.

Anna Maria is a regular guest at festivals like Krzyzowa Music, Bolzano music academy and the Stellenbosch chamber music festival. Since 2020 she is proudly part of the new founded Grând hotel orchestra Toblach, a project ensemble which discovers late romantic music on historic instruments.

From 2021 she will be a scholarship holder of the Villa Musica foundation Rheinland-Pfalz.
