Anke is in her first year at Oxford studying Law with Law Studies in Europe. Clarinet is only one of Anke's talents, she has also achieved Grade 8 distinction in Singing, Piano and Saxophone, whilst at King Edward VI School in Southampton.
A member of the National Youth Orchestra for seven years, she was co-principal clarinettist during the 2006/07 season and is currently Principal Clarinet of the Oxford University Orchestra.
When she can find the time, Anke enjoys tennis, swimming and scuba diving and she owns an African Grey parrott who likes Messiaen and Poulenc and will copy Anke's scales, particularly minor arpeggios!
