ABOUT THE ARTIST

Praised for the “…grace and sensitivity” of her playing as well as her enthusiastic teaching, pianist Ann DuHamel serves as Head of Keyboard Studies at the University of Minnesota, Morris, as well as President-Elect of the Minnesota Music Teachers Association. An ardent proponent of modern music, she enjoys working with and commissioning contemporary composers, and this past season she premiered works of Marc Chan, Luke Dahn, Joseph Dangerfield, Jake Endres, Edie Hill, and Linda Kachelmeier. The 2019 season brings a solo program of music by Brahms and related to Brahms, with performances in Malaysia, Thailand, Belgium, and across the United States, as well as a return engagement of the Grieg piano concerto with the Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra in Alexandria, MN, USA.

Ann’s playing and teaching has been described as “… a delight for the ears and the soul.” A versatile artist, her recent engagements include the Bach D minor keyboard concerto and the Bartók sonata for two pianos and percussion. She has collaborated with several musicians, including Maria Jette, soprano; Clara Osowski, mezzo-soprano; Stephen Swanson, baritone; Seta Baltayan, cello; Preston Duncan, saxophone; and Martha Councell, flute. She’s had the great fortune of participating in several summer festivals, including PianoSummer at New Paltz and Piano Texas, and through them has studied with Vladimir Feltsman, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Martin Katz, Alexander Korsantia, and Nelita True, among others. Past performances include venues in fourteen countries on four continents and over twenty states, including two appearances in Carnegie Weill Recital Hall. Ann earned a DMA from the University of Iowa under the tutelage of Ksenia Nosikova. Prior to her doctoral studies, she was Assistant Director to Paul Wirth at the Central MN Music School in St Cloud, MN, USA.
