Described as “suggestive, elegant” and “hauntingly beautiful,” Anna’s music explores tactile encounters with the world while extending into memory, history, and landscape. Her works have been performed across Canada and internationally, including in the U.K., China, Mexico, Italy, and Russia. In 2021, her piano work Harbour, recorded by Cheryl Duvall, received a JUNO nomination for Classical Composition of the Year.

Anna’s compositions span chamber, orchestral, operatic & interdisciplinary forms, often shaped through collaboration. Recent 2025 projects include her string orchestra piece Saltwater for the Victoria Symphony, Gestures based on After the Rain (Höstman) and Brocade (Linda Catlin Smith) for Le Vivier and Dylan Robinson’s Designs for Inviting, and Cells of Wind, a graphically-notated opera created with Oana Avasilichioaei and experimental chamber collective FAWN.

Residencies have taken her from Montreal to Iceland, deepening her ongoing practice exploring the idea of embodiment within nature. This winter, she will be at the Artshed in Sointula with Ella Morton and Cheryl Duvall to develop a new work on this theme.

Anna is co-founder and pianist-composer of the improvising collective Soft Time, and teaches from her studio in downtown Victoria. Her scores are available through the Canadian Music Centre, where she is an associate composer.
