Biography

Annette Kruisbrink (Amsterdam, 1958) studied the guitar and composition at the conservatory of Zwolle. She subsequently trained herself to play the flamenco guitar and the vihuela.

In addition to composing she performs regularly as a soloist and in duo with the mezzosoprano Franka van Essen. With the Belgian guitarist Arlette Ruelens she forms The Anido Guitarduo. She currently teaches guitar at the Anido Guitar School.

She is the producer of 18 CDs with her compositions.
