About Me Since moving from the Netherlands to the Lot / Dordogne in Southwest France in 2012, Anke has offered Singing Holidays, for groups of up to 24 individual singers or established choirs. Daily rehearsals take place in several of the acoustically-perfect Romanesque churches that dot the area and the holiday ends with a public performance in one of the churches.

In the Lot Anke conducts two choirs. La Chorale de Cazals is an international mixed choir of 40-plus members of all levels from total beginners to experienced soloists. Performances are now standing room only and audience members regularly rave about the professionalism and pure joy of the ‘wall of sound’. Parisian film maker, François Stuck, made a short documentary about La Chorale de Cazals in 2017. Anke also directs Gaia, a vocal ensemble of fourteen women. Their repertoire consists of three- and four part songs from the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical period, with some contemporary pieces. For Gaia, Anke wrote the evocative Canto Amoris. The video clip of this song was shot in the Périgord Noir. Gaia are regularly asked to perform – usually in medieval dresses – in the beautiful medieval churches or châteaux of the region as well as at private ceremonies and functions.

With her love of different musical styles, she performs with pianist Margaret Griffiths (baroque, classical, opera, musical). With pianist/composer Peter Duiverman, she is Stone&Tara. She is Sweet Jazz with guitarist / singer Angela Christian.

Anke de Bruijn commented on Chris Rowbury's blog entry: Dear Chris, thank you for posting your interesting blogs. I'd like to respond from one aspect only (mainly because of lack of time, forgive me :-)) - physical distance. It strikes me that, since I have been teaching singers through Zoom, they become more ... more
