Annelise Papinsick

Annelise Papinsick (piano) is a piano teacher, soloist, and accompanist based in southern-central New Hampshire. She grew up as a competitive classical pianist, but also showed interest in traditional music around the world from a young age, and began exploring Irish and French-Canadian traditional music in her teenage years. Being stylistically omnivorous, she enjoys experimenting at the keyboard with influences from a wide range of cultures, players, and composers, and brings her strong technical background and collaborative sensitivity to both classical and non-classical styles. In addition to her roles as piano teacher and accompanist at the Concord Community Music School, Annelise is the pianist for the First Congregational Church of Concord and the music director for the NH Scottish Music Club. Annelise completed her studies in Music Performance and Humanities at UNH, and has a J.D. from the UNH School of Law.
