About

Anna Clyne (born 1980, London) is a British composer based in New York, working across acoustic and electroacoustic music. Her orchestral writing draws on visual art, poetry and dance, sitting somewhere between post-romanticism and the contemporary avant-garde - and she has become one of the most frequently performed living composers in the world. She has held residencies with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic and many others, and her works have been commissioned by Carnegie Hall, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Sydney Opera House, among others.
