Making her Wigmore Hall debut in December 2023 (recording of the programme Hey! for Christmas with Siglo de Oro in 2026), Annemarie performs with ensembles Spinacino Consort, also featuring voice, lute and viol, Musica Mundana (with Eric Thomas, theorbo), Belesama (Héloïse Bernard, voice, Angela Stevenson, viol, and Jan Waterfield, harpsichord) and with keyboard players John Kitchen, David Gerrard and Dorien Schouten. The Spinacino Consort also brings Early Music to children with their ‘Spinacino Bambino’ events.

She is in demand as a tutor on residential recorder courses across the UK and in Germany, where she co-leads courses with Dietrich Schnabel. She has recently translated Bart Spanhove’s new book on practice techniques into English, as well as translating for Moeck Musikverlag.
