Anna is a multi award-winning composer, performer and educator originally from Dorset, and now based in Edinburgh. She studied composition at the Purcell School and the Royal Northern College of Music, and in 2023 gained a distinction for her MA in Opera-Making from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
Having recently been commissioned by Kantos Chamber Choir, this year Anna recorded her own debut album of vocal music due for release in 2027, featuring the Chamber Choir of London and the Jasmine Quartet. Generously funded by the Fenton Arts Trust, the Hugo Burge Foundation and the Ivors Academy Peter Sinfield Bursary Fund, this project expands upon a longstanding collaboration with conductor Dominic Ellis-Peckham.
Recently she has been a Britten-Pears Young artist, and has received multiple performances of Maeshowe, commissioned by St Martin’s Voices and the Piatti Quartet. Last year she was commissioned to write a new work for Helen Charlston and Toby Carr for the York Early Music Festival, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and received critical acclaim.

WATCH
"Anna’s choral music beautifully treads the line between being accessible and challenging, creating wonderful sound worlds which bring our the narrative of the text without over complicating it. Whether commissioning a new piece or using one of her many existing works Anna has always been a joy to work with and every piece I’ve programmed has been popular with both the choir and the audience."
Stuart Overington, Choral Conductor
