Annalise Rodgers
Biography
I am a fourth-year undergraduate student studying trumpet performance and environmental and sustainability studies at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am interested in working in musical theater not only performing as an instrumentalist but also being involved in arranging and other music direction areas.
I have experience playing in the CMU Philharmonic, CMU Wind Ensemble, and various chamber music groups as well as the CMU Jazz Orchestra. I have premiered new music, performed in the pit orchestra for the student-led theater group Scotch 'n' Soda, and am currently working on recording a collection of brass quintet music.
Outside of music, I work as an Academic Coach and advocate for diversity in the music community through being a part of the Student Advisory Board in the School of Music. I also enjoy late-night comedy, Tiny Desk Concerts, and political activism.
