| Biography: | Pianist Ann DuHamel’s performances have been described as poetic and “a delight for the ears and the soul” (Encuentro Universitario Internacional de Saxofón, Mexico City). “Prayers for a Feverish Planet,” her latest project, is a call for scores seeking works specifically devoted to one of the most urgent issues of our time – climate change. Ann’s 2019-20 season featured works she commissioned from Marc Chan, Jocelyn Hagen, Luke Dahn, Joseph Dangerfield, and Edie Hill, all responding to Brahms through the theme of transformation. She’s performed the program in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.; the recording is slated for a Nov. 2020 release on the Furious Artisans label. An enthusiastic collaborative pianist, Ann has performed with members of the Minnesota Orchestra and the SCPO, among others. Her performance with ensemble: Périphérie at Carnegie Weill Recital Hall was hailed by the New York Concert Review as “outstanding,” the group of “superb musicians” praised for their “power and assurance.” In Minnesota she’s appeared in concerts for Source Song Festival, Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra, Thursday Musical Artist Series, Schubert Club Courtroom Concerts, and JOYA Chamber Music series. Ann teaches at the University of Minnesota Morris and serves as President of the Minnesota Music Teachers Association. She holds a DMA from the University of Iowa. |
