Hello! I'm Annick Odom, a musician currently based part-time in Leuven, Belgium and Den Haag, The Netherlands.
PROJECTS
I've spent the last years exploring the place that still feels most like home, West Virginia. One of the projects I'm most excited about is West Virginia, My Home, where I blend music learned from WV ballad singers such as Phyllis Marks and Aunt Jenny with newly commissioned pieces by young composers and self-written work. I also play in several groups, new music ensembles and folk and pop bands, including Linen of Words and Sweet Joe Pye. I am involved in the free improvisation scene in The Netherlands and love collaborating with composers to create new work.
EDUCATION
In 2014, I graduated from the University of Michigan with three bachelor degrees: a BM in Clarinet Performance, a BM in Double Bass Performance, and a BA in Psychology with honors. In 2018, I finished an MM in "New Audience and Innovative Practice", a performance degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. While there, I also completed the first year coursework for the MM in "Music Education According to the Kodaly Concept."
