Anne Bolt (piano)
Anne is currently Head of Piano at Oakham School in Rutland where she divides her time between teaching, accompanying and leading the faculty of pianists. Following a music degree at Oxford University, she studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama under Hilary Coates. A Fulbright Scholarship and an English Speaking Union Fellowship enabled her to continue her education in America at Indiana University for two years, having lessons with Menahem Pressler (Beaux Arts Trio) and graduating with a Master of Music Degree.
Anne is passionate about bringing chamber music to everyone and collaborates with her friends from the music world to perform exciting programmes of opera, song, piano trios, piano duets and other duo works. She has a violin and piano duo with the Dutch violinist, Annebeth Webb, and they perform regularly in Holland. Concerto performances include Mozarts D minor Concerto with the Rutland Sinfonia, as well as Beethovens 4th Piano Concerto, Chopins 1st Piano Concerto and Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue with the Worcestershire Symphony Orchestra.
