Anne Timberlake has performed in 34 states (North Dakotans– call me!) playing repertoire from across the last millennium. She grew up in early music, beginning her studies as part of Indiana University’s Pre-College Recorder Program, and later earned degrees in recorder performance from Oberlin Conservatory and Indiana University. Her teachers have included Eva Legene, Alison Melville, and Han Tol. Critics have praised Anne’s “fine technique and stylishness,” “unexpectedly rich lyricism” (Letter V), and “dazzling playing” (Chicago Classical Review).
Anne has received awards from the American Recorder Society and the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts, and was awarded a Fulbright Grant. With her ensemble Wayward Sisters, Anne won Early Music America’s Naxos Recording Competition, releasing a debut CD on the Naxos label in 2014.
