After receiving a B.A. in vocal performance from the Royal Conservatory in her native city Antwerp (Belgium), Annelies studied musicology at the Catholic 木瓜福利影视 of Leuven and the Humboldt 木瓜福利影视 in Berlin. She completed her PhD at Yale 木瓜福利影视 in May 2018 and from 2018 until 2021 she was a postdoctoral researcher at Magdalen College, the 木瓜福利影视 of Oxford. Since 2021, she is assistant professor of musicology at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
Annelies has experience teaching music history, theory, and musicianship courses. She especially likes delving into materials interrogating the links between music, politics, and war (including its interaction with trauma), or the intersections between performance and gender. She taught MA Courses on music and war (2019), ‘“Diva”: Female Singers in the Last Century’ (2020), and eighteenth-century opera. At Utrecht, she is teaching BA courses in music analysis, history of Western music since 1600, and Dutch Music Culture, and de RMA course Perspectives on Music Historiography and tutorials on a variety of topics.
