Anker Buch (born March 25, 1940 in Vejgaard , † April 1, 2014 in Denmark) was a Danish violinist .

Life

Buch grew up in Svenstrup south of Aalborg , where his father worked as a butcher. At the age of eight he already played the violin and at ten he gave concerts of his own. At the same time, at the age of eight, he began taking music lessons from Rolf Kjeldahl, the Danish concertmaster of the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra . At the age of fourteen he began a musical education at the Det Kongelige Danske Music Conservatory and then worked as concertmaster with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra . At the age of 18, Buch studied at the Juilliard School in New York from 1958 to 1964 . After completing his training and making an international debut as a soloist, he later decided to move back to Denmark. In 1964 he was awarded the Danish Jakob Gades Mindelegat Culture Prize. He was also active as a violinist and concertmaster around the world and performed with several orchestras in various houses until his retirement and at festivals. In addition, he was involved in the annual Uldum Gademusik Festival in Uldum , East Jutland , where he also appeared as himself. In 1981 Buch bought the Mønsted lime pits , which are 14 km west of Viborg . Since then he has used it as a tourist attraction, where well-known artists performed in the former factory building as well as in the underground limestone caves and rooms for concerts and other cultural events. Buch gave over 7000 concerts worldwide and published several of his musical successes on CD . Some of his concerts and pieces of music with his participation were also broadcast on Danish television.

On the occasion of his 60th birthday, in 2000 he donated his own prize, the Anker Book Prizes to support special young musical talents, which was awarded annually.

On April 1, 2014, he died at home in his sleep after a long illness with his family at the age of 74.
