After graduating from art school, Ann Pareyn obtained the Laureate diplomas in violin, chamber music and music history at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven.
She was a permanent member of the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, Chapelle de Lorraine, salon orchestra Panache and performed as a freelance violinist in very diverse line-ups: from duo violin-piano, violin-organ, to string quartet, chamber orchestra, theater performances, proms concerts, opera.
In 2006, Ann founded the Drongens Chamber Orchestra “Cordae Lysis”, which has since grown into a respected semi-professional chamber orchestra in Flanders.
In June 2013 she graduated from the Lemmens Institute in Leuven with a Master's degree in Music with great distinction.
Her experience with very diverse conductors inspired her to increasingly take up the baton herself. She followed master classes in conducting at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven with Ivan Meylemans; private courses with Edmond Saveniers and Dirk Vermeulen. In 2017, Ann was selected as chief conductor of the new symphonic orchestra Musamis in Kortrijk.
At the beginning of 2018, she founded the professional string orchestra VZW Spumanti, where she gathered a number of Flemish top musicians under her leadership.
In 2019-2020 she toured all over Flanders with the very succesfull production "Napoleon Ongehoord" and in 2022-2023 with "Zonnekoning Ongezien", both with Johan Op de Beeck.
Meanwhile she is working on different new productions.
