Anne Marshman
|
In November 2011 Anne and her husband visited Nelson for the first time, to meet an old friend – for lunch. By May 2015 they had left their careers overseas, bought a house and moved to Nelson – for good.
Anne was a university lecturer. Her interdisciplinary research and writings on music history and aesthetics, literary theory, Mikhail Bakhtin, Carl Jung, Mozart, Stravinsky and Tippet have been published in peer-reviewed books and journals in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. |
Anne has a PhD in Musicology from the University of Melbourne, where she lectured in Western music history before taking up a position as Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore. She has also thoroughly enjoyed communicating with wider audiences through concert programme notes and public talks on a range of musical topics.
She has lived in London, Berlin, Singapore, Melbourne, Brisbane and Kuala Lumpur. In her first career as an orchestral oboist she performed with artists such as Kiri Te Kanawa, Mstislav Rostropovich, the Bolshoi Ballet, Olivia Newton John, and David Essex.
Anne writes under the name Annemarie Florian. Her books for young children are inspired by her particular interest in how books and language can influence who we are and how we view ourselves. Her first book, Time to Sleep (Reed Publishing/Penguin Books), has been reprinted three times since it first came out in 2004. Books for Babies (Penguin Books NZ/Kane Miller Publishing, USA, 2010) and Getting To Know You (Niche Books, 2010) are small board books designed with the very youngest of the family in mind. To date, Books for Babies has sold over 30,000 copies. Her fourth book, Kiwi – The Real Story (New Holland, 2012) was a 2013 Storylines Notable Book (Non-fiction), a finalist for the 2013 LIANZA Russell Clark Award, and the 2013 Children’s Choice Non-Fiction Winner in the New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards. This has led to five more animal-inspired children's books, with the most recent published in 2022.
