Anett Baumann

Annett Baumann, who grew up in a musical home in Glashütte (Erzgebirge), began violin and theory lessons at the Kreismusikschule Bautzen in 1975. At the age of twelve, she was accepted into the Carl Maria von Weber Special School of Music in Dresden. From 1985, she devoted herself to intensive string quartet playing with Günther Siering.

During her university studies in Dresden, she was taught by Prof Ingolf Brinkmann and Prof Gustav Schmahl. After graduating in 1991, she continued her studies in chamber music with Prof Jörg-Wolfgang Jahn at the Karlsruhe University of Music and studied in Gustav Schmahl's masterclass at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin, where she passed her concert exam in 1996.

Her great love of chamber music led to the founding of the Baumann Quartet during her studies at the Dresden Hochschule, which took part in international competitions and masterclasses (with Walter Levin, Norbert Brainin and Eberhard Feltz, among others).

Anett Baumann's career as an orchestral musician initially took her to Görlitz, where she held the position of deputy 1st concertmaster in the 1997/98 season. Since 1998 she has been a member of the 1st violins of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.

She is also a member of the ‘ensemble frauenkirche Dresden’.

Anett Baumann is also active as a teacher and has been teaching her own violin class and orchestral studies at the Carl Maria von Weber Dresden Academy of Music since 2000.
