Anna Meredith

Anna Meredith is a composer, producer and performer of both acoustic and electronic music. Her sound is frequently described as ‘uncategorisable’ and ‘genre-defying’ and straddles the worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, film and TV soundtracks, electronica, installations and experimental rock.

Anna has been Composer in Residence with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the RPS/PRS Composer in the House with Sinfonia ViVA. Her debut album ‚Varmints‘ was released in March 2016, followed by her second album ‚FIBS‘ in October 2019, both to huge critical acclaim.

For the past 8 years Anna has collaborated with her band - three of the UK’s leading instrumentalists - Maddie Cutter on cello, Jack Ross on guitar and Sam Wilson on drums. They have toured extensively around the UK, including Barbican Centre, EartH and Queen Elizabeth Hall in London as well as appearances at Glastonbury, Latitude, Haldern Pop and SXSW festivals.

They have collaborated with multiple orchestras to perform new arrangements of Anna’s material for band and orchestra including performances at London’s Barbican (London Contemporary Orchestra conducted by Rob Ames), Manchester’s Mayfield Depot (RNCM conducted by Rob Ames) for Factory International, to international performances including Georgia and the Netherlands.

In 2023 the Ligeti Quartet released NUC - an album of her string quartet works on Mercury KX. The album featured Anna’s existing pieces for string quartets plus new arrangements of album tracks for quartet and electronics by the violist Richard Jones.

Her piece ANNO, which features both Anna's music and Vivaldi's Four Seasons with visuals by her sister, illustrator Eleanor Meredith, has been performed extensively including performances in the USA, Europe, Japan, Korea and around the UK. A recording of ANNO performed in collaboration with the Scottish Ensemble, was released in 2018 on Moshi Moshi Records.

Anna is currently working on her third studio album.
