Ex-TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA violinist Anna Phoebe has checked in with the following update:

"Hi there!

It's been such a long time since I last wrote a newsletter!I can't believe it's almost April!

Lots has been happening behind the scenes. Firstly, I have a fantastic new website courtesy of iMedia8. The address is the same,www.annaphoebe.com.I hope you like it!

There's a new photoshoot on the Media page which was shot by a great photographer, Mikael Gregorsky. There's also new videos on the Media page. To keep up to date with any new posts you can sign up to the RSS feeds on the website!

Next week I start my travels again - within the next month I'll be travelingto Dubai, Russia, Italy and Ireland. All of the concerts will be performances with full symphony orchestra - some are as featured guest with the incredible Jon Lord (DEEP PURPLE) and some will be performances of my solo material, orchestrated by Joost van den Broek (ex-AFTER FOREVER). Details of all the concerts can be found on the website.

I am also writing new material with the musicians from Jurojin for a new solo album - we've written quite a few songs already and it's moving in an exciting direction: a sort of MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA Meets APOCALYPTICA. More on that coming soon!

So, this was just a quick one to say check out the website, let me know what you think, and stay tuned!"
