The Austrian-Italian soprano, Annelies Oberschmied, first studied organ and organ composition at the Musikkonservatorium C. Monteverdi Bozen. She then went to Vienna to study church music at the University of Music and Performing Arts (1993-1998): organ (Michael Radulescu), choir direction (Erwin Ortner), singing (Maria Höller and Margit Fleischmann), composition (W. Sauseng) were the main subjects with which she graduated as Magistra artium. During this time she was already dealing with the compositions for voice and organ by
Michael Radulescu and also performed them in concert with him. During her studies in Vienna she was also active as a singer and répétiteur in the
Arnold Schönberg Chor and was able to experience valuable musical moments with them under well-known conductors such as
Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Claudio Abbado,
Riccardo Muti and others.
After her studies Annelies Oberschmied preferred singing, especially early music and contemporary compositions for voice and organ. She teaches vocal training at the Musikschule Bruneck (since 1998) and works as a voice coach for various courses in Germany and abroad. As a permanent soloist and ensemble member of the Capella Wilthinensis Innsbruck (Director: Norbert Matsch), she can be heard regularly in church services and concerts. This formation plays exclusively on original instruments. Their repertoire ranges from A. Brumel,
Girolamo Frescobaldi to J.S. Bach, Biber and Schmelzer. As a soloist she has sung in
J.S. Bach's Johannes-Passion
BWV 245, George Frideric Handel:
Brockes Passion, HWV 48, G.B. Ferrandinsi's Il pianto di Maria,
Dietrich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu nostri,
