Bio/Research
Flutist Anne Thompson is a native of Peterborough, Ont. and received her early musical education there before entering the Bachelor of Music program at The University of Western Ontario. While an undergraduate, she became a member of Orchestra London and later played with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for several years before receiving a Canada Council grant for further study in the U.S. After a year of study with flutist Geoffrey Gilbert, she attended Yale University where she studied under Thomas Nyfenger and performed at the Norfolk Summer Music Festival. Upon receiving the degree of Master of Music Performance from Yale, she returned to Canada to join the Faculty of Music at the University of Western Ontario, where she still teaches. Ms. Thompson lives in Toronto, where she is a busy freelance artist. She has appeared regularly with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the National Ballet Orchestra, the Mississauga Philharmonic, Continuum New Music Ensemble, the Kitchener- Waterloo Symphony, the Hamilton Philharmonic, the Talisker Players, the Winnipeg Ballet Orchestra and all of the Toronto theatre orchestras, and is a frequent performer on CBC Radio in chamber and orchestral settings.
With Continuum Contemporary Music, she performed on BBC and VPRO, the National Radio of Holland, during the group’s European tour in 2003, at the Montreal New Music Festival last season and in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre this season. In May 2008, she played and recorded David Felder’s Dionysiacs with the University of Buffalo Slee Sinfonietta at Cleveland State University and Continuum’s second European tour.
