She received her Bachelor of Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory of Music in 1978, having won the Oberlin Concerto Competition, Grand Prize in the Joseph Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, and participated in master classes with Dorothy Delay, Itzhak Perlman and Aaron Rosand. For over twenty years, Ms. Baune held the position of Concertmaster of The Women's Philharmonic, working under the batons of JoAnn Falletta, Apo Hsu and most of the world's best-known women conductors. During this time she participated in hundreds of premieres and recorded numerous works including the Maddalena Lombardini Violin Concerto #5. In 2001 she and The Women's Philharmonic gave the world premiere of Chinese Folk Dance Suite for violin and orchestra by Chen Yi, a work commissioned by the Koussevitsky Foundation to be written for Ms. Baune and the orchestra.
