BIOGRAPHY
Despite growing up in a non-musical family, Annabell discovered her love for music at an early age, singing in children's choirs and learning the flute and piano at the age of 8.
While studying Music and English at the University of the Arts Berlin, she realized that teaching was not the path she wanted to follow and quickly transitioned into the field of organizing and managing cultural events.
She worked for organizations such as Freie Volksbühne Berlin, the University of the Arts Berlin, and the Rundfunkchor Berlin, and is also one of the founding members of Neuer Kammerchor Berlin.
At Rundfunkchor Berlin, she was responsible for developing and implementing new and innovative concert, outreach, and media formats, building new connections with various artistic partners, and strengthening existing ones. Additionally, she managed ongoing productions as a project manager. She was responsible for creating the program for the choir's 100th-anniversary season, together with chief conductor Gijs Leenaars.
In her role as Head of Artistic Planning for the MCO, she is responsible for filling the orchestra's Calendar with tours and projects and developing all program in close collaboration with the orchestra's representatives and various external partners.
