Sprecherin:

Dr. Ann Lemke

Oboe, Oboe d’amore, & English horn

Ann Lemke Oboe Studio & Cranbrook Schools

Join us for a lively musical presentation to start the New Year.

Dr. Ann Lemke, a lifelong professional musician, will inspire us with her reflections on the importance of music in our lives and will perform beautiful selections on the oboe, oboe d’amore, and English horn.

Music is a companion that accompanies us throughout life. It is truly a universal language that moves, inspires, refreshes, and connects people. Ann will share colorful stories of her years as a music student at the famed Manhattan School of Music, her studies of German women composers as a Fulbright scholar in Germany, how music connected her to her husband, impacted raising her children and caring for her father with dementia, her career as a teacher and performer, and more.

Woven through Ann’s narrative are musical selections for you to enjoy.

There will be optional audience participation at the end and time for Q & A.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Ann Lemke combines her love of performing on oboe, oboe d’amore, and English horn with a curiosity for discovering new repertoire by women composers. Principal Oboist with the Rochester and the International Symphony Orchestras, Ann gave the US and Canadian premieres of the virtuosic Grandval Oboe Concerto. Her album Oboe Salon and intimate Salon Recitals of little-known works by nineteenth-century European women composers have inspired international audiences.

Through her thriving private studio and as Oboe Instructor at Cranbrook Schools, Ann enjoys making a positive, lasting impact on many students of all ages. Additionally, based on her research as a Fulbright scholar to Germany and a Yale University Beinecke Fellow, Ann strives to give voice to long-forgotten women composers through publications and innovative programming.

Ann’s early studies at the Manhattan School of Music and her intensive international exposure (including Korea, England, and Germany) continue to shape her artistic expression.

With her doctoral degree from Indiana University, Ann has taught interdisciplinary, university-level courses.

Ann and her husband, attorney Reinhard Lemke, live in Troy and have 3 adult children.
