Anna-Maria Hefele

Anna-Maria Hefele is an overtone singer and voice artist. In 2014 she graduated as Bachelor of Arts in Elemental Music and Dance Education with classical singing as her main subject from the Carl Orff Institute at the Mozarteum Salzburg. She started with overtone singing in 2005 and has written compositions for polyphonic solo voice since 2006. Overtone singing is a voice technique, where it seems like one person is singing two notes at the same time by filtering and amplifying the natural harmonics in the human voice. From 2005 to 2009 Anna-Maria Hefele was a maker of display models and studied at Deutsches Museum München, where she graduated as the best of her year in Germany. Since 2010 she is consistently working as a soloist with different ­orchestras and also as a musician for various contemporary dance- and circus-shows. Hefele is a teacher as well and gives workshops in overtone singing, yodelling and vocal improvisation.
