Anja van der Maten
More than 77.5k times played this month
Anja was born in 1969 in Ridderkerk. She started with oboes when she was ten years old. In 1986 she went to study at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. After her studies she won several soloist competitions.
Oboist Anja van der Maten is now enjoying the tours she is making with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. 'Great to play your notes rehearsed at home with others.'
In the meantime, Anja van der Maten has played in major concert halls at home and abroad. It means that she is regularly away from home. "I am lucky that my mother lives so close," says Anja van der Maten, who recently became a teacher at the music school in her hometown of Woerden. "The children like it when I come home with all those stories about the orchestra and about other countries."
