Additional information

Anke was born in the rural area near Berlin and decided to create her life in this region where most of her ancestors lived and where her roots are. She studied elementary music education, composition and singing. Since then, she has been singing and making music on a freelance basis with children, families, people with disabilities and adults in every conceivable context, composing mantras and choir songs and reworking and rewriting many chants. Meanwhile, her own children were born and grew up singing and playing in Anke’s children’s singing circles, camps and events.
She completed various trainings and further education courses, including in the areas of singing as a social strategy, vocal improvisation, psycho-resonance training with the voice and TaKeTiNa.

For at least twenty years she worked for the network ‘Il canto del mondo e.V.’, where she was the project manager of the musical social project ‘Canto elementar’, an intergenerational singing program for the oldest and the youngest , singing together in kindergartens, for several years. During this time the project was awarded the German National Prize.

Anke has published several songbooks with ethnological, pedagogical and sometimes philosophical backgrounds for choirs, children’s groups and singing circles. Her albums give a lively impression of her work.

Her current main project, the Come & Sing App, is a continuously growing audio-virtual songbook for all your mobiles with polyphonic songs from all over the world that can carry us and our children into a peaceful, joyful future in which we care for the well-being of all creation. This app enfolds it’s full potential in collaboration with colleagues from many countries.
