Anna Lindemann has been composing
since the age of nine. Amongst her works are two suites
for piano. The first, entitled Garden Suite
consists of eight movements, and won second place
in the Music Teacher's National Association Composition
Competition in the U.S. in 1999. The second of the
two suites is a seven-movement work called Animal
Expeditions and was awarded first place in the
Pikes Peak Young Composer's Competition in 2001 and
a gold medal in the composition division of the Spokane
Music and Allied Arts Festival in 2000. Anna has also
written a choral work entitled Three Bee Songs
with text from three poems by Emily Dickinson. This
piece won second place in the Ars Nova Composition
Competition in 2001. The ballet Persephone,
from which the suite Into the Underworld and Out
Again is taken, is the first non-piano instrumental
work for Anna and a fulfilling work in that it unites
her musical talent with her longtime study of ballet.
Anna danced in the performance of the complete ballet,
choreographed by Ana Claire Davidson and orchestrated
for violin, cello, clarinet, trumpet, and percussion,
in June of 2002. Anna currently studies music with
her father Eric Lindemann and continues to take ballet.
She is in the eleventh grade at Boulder High School
and has a fondness for making paper hats in her spare
time.
