...last but not least
In her free time, Anna loves dancing hip-hop, listens to music for hours, maintains her friendships and social contacts as far away as the Far East almost 24/7, she is interested in fashion and in regularly redesigning her room and regularly challenges her family with adventurous obstacle courses. She designs creative and artistic objects from a wide variety of materials, so nothing stands in the way of a musical and artistic future.
At the beatlestrings, Anna, as an expert in fashion matters, most often uses her right of veto when it comes to the decision “What should we wear?” In addition, Anna also sets the tone with her violin during rehearsals and on stage and masterfully takes on the role of Primaria at all times.
