Along with the Gémeaux Quartet Anne Schoenholtz played a large number of concerts in such prestigious venues as the Berlin Philharmonie, London’s Wigmore Hall, the Opéra Bastille in Paris and the KKL in Lucerne. The Gémeaux Quartet earned several prizes such as the 3rd prize and the audience prize at the 2008 ARD Competition in Munich, 1st prize at the 2007 “Migros Culture Per Cent” Chamber Music Competition in Switzerland, 1st prize in the Basel Orchestra Society Competition and the Mozart Prize from the city of Lucerne.

Besides her activity as a chamber musician, Anne Schoenholtz also concertizes as soloists with such orchestras as the Festival Strings Lucerne, the North Rhine Westphalia State Youth Orchestra, the “Franz Liszt” Chamber Orchestra in Weimar and the “Classic con brio” Festival Orchestra in Osnabrück.
