Anna Clyne is a GRAMMY-nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning composer, described by The New York Times as a “composer of uncommon gifts and unusual methods,” by NPR as “fearless,” and by The Wall Street Journal as possessing a “rare gift.” Clyne is one of today’s most in-demand composers, working internationally with leading orchestras, choreographers, filmmakers, and visual artists. She has been named as the most performed living woman composer in the world by Bachtrack.

Clyne’s music has been commissioned and presented by major institutions including the Barbican, Carnegie Hall, the Edinburgh International Festival, MoMA, the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the Sydney Opera House. Collaboration is central to her work: she has partnered with a wide range of leading artists, including Martin Fröst and Yo-Yo Ma, and her music has been choreographed for San Francisco Ballet and The Royal Ballet by Nicolas Blanc and Pam Tanowitz respectively.

Clyne’s music has been featured in major international events and ceremonies, including performances at the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Nobel Prize awards ceremony in Sweden. She has held residencies with many major orchestras worldwide, such as the BBC Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Recordings of her works on SONY Classical are wide reaching and her cello concerto, DANCE, has garnered over 12 million plays on Spotify.

Visual art also plays a significant role in her work. Several compositions are inspired directly by painters such as Julie Mehretu, Gerhard Richter and Mark Rothko; in PALETTE she created a series of original abstract paintings to accompany each movement of the work. She is also known for integrating technology into orchestral performance, notably through the development of the Augmented Orchestra with sound designer Jody Elff.
