Biography
Flutist Anissa Baniahmad, who grew up in Marburg, has been principal flutist at the National Theater Mannheim since 2020. Prior to that, she held temporary engagements with the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra and the Frankfurt Opera. She has also made guest appearances with the German Symphony Orchestra Berlin, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, the NDR Radio Philharmonic, the Dresden Philharmonic, and the Ensemble Resonanz, among others.
She completed her studies at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts with Paul Dahme and Stephanie Winker, and at the Berlin University of the Arts with Christina Fassbender. As part of the Erasmus program, she studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris with Philippe Bernold.
Anissa Baniahmad is a prize winner of several competitions, including the international “Concours pour Jeunes Solistes” in Luxembourg, and has received support from the German National Academic Foundation and the Mozart Society of Dortmund, among others.
A central focus of her artistic work is chamber music. From 2014 to 2022, she was a member of the Monet Wind Quintet, which was accepted into the Federal Selection of Young Artists following successes at the German Music Competition. In addition, she performs regularly in various ensembles and, since 2019, has formed the Duo Revelio together with guitarist Jesse Flowers.
In addition to her concert career, she is deeply committed to teaching. Since the 2025–26 winter semester, she has been teaching as an adjunct professor at the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts, filling a vacant professorship, where she mentors undergraduate students majoring in flute.
Furthermore, she is engaged in mental training and personal development and is currently completing training as a mindset coach according to Christian Bischoff.

Duo Revelio
Duo Revelio consists of Anissa Baniahmad (flute) and Jesse Flowers (guitar).
Since meeting at the German Music Competition, they have been united by a shared passion for the sonic diversity of this unique combination. With a keen sense of timbre and expression, they offer fresh interpretations of well-known works and expand their repertoire with original arrangements. Their concerts captivate audiences with their musical depth, virtuosity, and an immediate, lively connection with the audience.
Teaching
I particularly enjoy working with advanced students and university students who are specifically preparing for entrance exams.
In addition to technical and musical development, I believe in a holistic approach: bodywork and mental training are integral parts of my lessons—inspired by my training as a mindset coach.
I’m also happy to offer online lessons and look forward to hearing from you!
I am currently also filling the vacant professorship in Mannheim on a 50% basis.
