Anneke Schaul-Yoder performs in both period-instrument and modern ensembles at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the 92nd Street Y, and other venues in New York and beyond. 

Anneke performs as solo continuo cellist with the SUORE Project, which studies and performs works by nun composers through the ages (with a focus on 17th-century Milan), as well as SIREN Baroque, the internationally acclaimed all-female early music ensemble. She has also performed with the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra, Morningside Opera Company, BalletNext, and numerous other ensembles, and was principal cellist of the Northern Dutchess Symphony Orchestra. Her performances of the Bach Solo Suites have been featured at the Bronxville Bach Festival and the Music on Market Series. Anneke is a member of Skid Rococo, a group with soprano and lute that performs the derelict and touching songs of 18th-century Sweden and France; the Piano Music & Song Trio, a trumpet/cello/piano trio that reorchestrates and improvises over art songs; Eudemonia, which presents eclectic programs of chamber music for flute, cello, and piano; and also the Queens Consort, the borough of Queens’s first early music ensemble.

Green Age, a recording of cello sonatas by Bohuslav Martinu and Jordan McLean with pianist Derin Oge, is available through System Dialing Records and all streaming platforms; Anneke also has recordings on the Island, Naxos, Bridge, and 3rd Generation labels. She has recorded with the Lumineers, the Sway Machinery, Shawn Mendes, and members of Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, and Antibalas, as well as singer/songwriters such as Jade Bird and Donna Lewis. With the Britten Centenary Quartet, Anneke presented all of Benjamin Britten’s string quartets at Lincoln Center throughout 2013, culminating in a marathon concert of his complete quartet works. She has been a featured guest on A Prairie Home Companion, broadcast live from Town Hall in New York, and has appeared on Lincoln Center’s “American Songbook” series, televised on PBS’s Live from Lincoln Center. In 2009, Anneke was granted a fellowship for a four-month intensive study of Bach and Britten solo suites at the Banff Centre. She studied with Julia Lichten and Marcy Rosen at Yale University, the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Music, and the Mannes College of Music. A strong proponent of diverse and unconventional programs, Anneke admits that her first musical obsessions, Bach cantatas and Haydn string quartets, remain her strongest.

Anneke lives on a farmstead in the Catskill Mountains with her partner Alexander and their two children. She plays on a French cello from 1713 by Jacques Boquay.
