ANNE
LOESER
1ST VIOLIN
German-born Anne studied violin at the Frankfurt Musikhochschule and joined the first violin section of the NZSO in 2000.
Before emigrating to New Zealand, Anne played in the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn and Hesse State Theatre Orchestra in Wiesbaden. She was also a member of the award-winning Orfeo Quartet which won a scholarship for a year’s post-graduate study with Sandor Devich of the Bartok Quartet in Budapest. With the Quartet she toured throughout Europe and in South America.
During her teenage years Anne's principal violin teacher and mentor was Prof. Helmut Heller, Wilhelm Furtwängler's concertmaster in the Berlin Philharmonic. More recently she worked with many inspiring musicians, among them Norbert Brainin of the Amadeus Quartet, Thomas Kakuska of the Alban Berg Quartet, Hermann Voss and Peter Buck of the Melos Quartet, Shmuel Ashkenasi of the Vermeer Quartet.
Anne's love for chamber music has seen her play in various ensembles, ranging from baroque on authentic instruments (NZBarok, L’arpa Festante/Munich) to modern throughout Germany and New Zealand.
Anne is a member of the Koru Piano Trio and concertmaster of the Days Bay Opera Orchestra.
As soloist Anne has appeared in various cities in Germany, New Zealand and in St. Petersburg, Russia.
When she’s not making music herself, Anne tutors violin and viola and conducts in amateur orchestras, likes to read, explore New Zealand’s outdoors, work in the garden and bake German cakes for the whole orchestra. She is married to NZSO horn-player Gregory Hill.
