Hi, I'm Anna-Lise. I'm a musician, doctoral student, and former arts administrator. Until recently, I spent much of my time working at Music of the Baroque, as the Director of Development and Educational Outreach. I'm currently taking some time away from the workplace to be home with my son and to finish writing my dissertation about professional women's symphony orchestras at the University of Chicago. I can also sometimes be found playing Irish fiddle at the Abbey Pub and other area bars, singing with the Schola Cantorum of St. Peter's-in-the-Loop, or conducting various ensembles such as the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Company. See my resume.
Andrew and I got married on September 30, 2000. Click here to see some wedding pictures.
On March 25, 2001, our beautiful son Andrew John was born. Click here to start on page one of his album. To jump directly to your favorite page, click one of the following page numbers: Page 2, Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, Page 6,Page 7, Page 8, Page 9, Page 10. For those friends and relatives who have been checking in and haven't found any new photos lately, I apologize. I plan to add some soon, but since our move in February, I've been tied up studying for my field exams (passed on July 12, Hallelujah!). I am also planning on moving this site in the near future to a place where I have more space. If you continue to access it through www.anna-lise.com, you should still be able to get there after the move. If you want to be notified when that happens, leave me a not in the guestbook. And thanks for visiting!
Other events of the last year have been less joyous. If you would like to help victims of the September 11 tragedy, please click the link below.
Please sign my guestbook before you go. I finally have a new, functional guestbook. Unfortunately, I had to sacrifice previous entries for this improvement, so even if you've signed it before, please leave us a new message. We'd love to hear from you!
