Guitarist Anne Haasch, who resides in Weimar, has made a name for herself in recent years as a sought-after soloist, chamber musician, and teacher. Her classical guitar studies took her from Mecklenburg to Weimar in the renowned class of Thomas Müller-Pering at the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar. The guitarist is one of the award winners of the Interpretation Competition “Verfemte Musik” in Schwerin. Her encounter there with survivors of the Holocaust (including figures such as Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, Esther Bejarano, and Coco Schumann) opened up for her a musical world of long-forgotten composers and interpreters. Since then, an important focus of her musical work has been her deep involvement with compositions by Jewish and ostracized composers such as Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Gerhard, Milhaud, and Tansman. The musician inspires her audiences in numerous solo and chamber music concerts in Germany and abroad, which are at the same time a search for new paths and lesser-known compositions. Haasch is enthusiastically devoted to chamber music. In clarinetist Jan Doormann, she has found an inspiring companion on their journey together as the Duo Arvoredo. The sought-after educator teaches classical guitar and chamber music at the University of Music and Theater “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” in Leipzig. Her widely acclaimed debut album featuring works by José, Milhaud, Poulenc, Gerhard, and Takemitsu appeared in 2019. www.annehaasch.com
