Anne Page

Anne Page was born and educated in Perth, Western Australia. She moved to Europe in order to further her studies in organ playing with Marie-Claire Alain, Peter Hurford and Jacques van Oortmerssen (through the Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam). Based in Cambridge, she is a recitalist and teacher and with her partner, art historian Paul Binski, has recently founded the Cambridge Academy of Organ Studies. In the pioneering spirit of her homeland, she likes to explore some of the less well-trodden musical paths such as the revival of the harmonium, and is currently engaged in the Historic Organ Sound Archive making documentary recordings on organs in the eastern region. She is a passionately keen gardener and was proud to gain a Distinction in Grade One cello as an adult beginner while raising funds for East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
