During the Baroque era, taking music and art lessons was an integral part of education of children in royal
families. Anne, Princess of Orange (1709-1759), the eldest daughter of King George II of Great Britain, was
fortunate in having excellent teachers. At the age of five, she moved from her native city of Hanover to
London, where for eleven years her musical talent was cultivated by G. F. Handel, a celebrated composer
and keyboard virtuoso. Handel dedicated a number of his works to the Princess (among them the wedding
serenade Parnasso in festa), while other, highly popular, pieces of his were arranged, including by the
virtuoso flautist Michel Blavet. Following her wedding and departure from London, Anne no longer took
harpsichord lessons, yet at the court in The Hague, her new home, she remained faithful to the Muses and
surrounded herself with excellent artists. For a few years, the court employed the superb violinist and
Kapellmeister Jean-Marie Leclair, who dedicated to Anne his fourth book of solo sonatas. In the case of
some of them, he mentioned – to the delight of all flautists – the possibility of their being performed by
"flûte allemande" as an alternative instrument. As a soloist, the flautist Jana Semeradova has worked with
distinguished early music specialists (S. Azzolini, A. Bernardini, E. Onofri, etc.) and has performed at major
festivals (Utrecht, Leipzig, Halle, Versailles, Sablé, Regensburg, etc.). Erich Traxler is an outstanding soloist
and chamber player, who has appeared at the most renowned concert venues worldwide. Princess Anne's
remarkable musical story is the intersection of the stories of the two exceptional musicians.
