Anna Clyne

Anna Clyne in the news

Psappha is introducing the music of Anna Clyne to the UK during October and November and is thrilled that she has been named Chicago Symphony Orchestra Mead Composer-in-Residence by Riccardo Muti.

Clyne will share this role with co-Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates, curating the CSO's contemporary music series, MusicNOW, and acting as an advocate within the Chicago community to further the understanding and appreciation of all music. Clyne was chosen for her shared interest in reaching and establishing roots and partnerships in the Chicago community, and for her commitment to extending the art of composition to be inclusive of other art forms such as film, dance and the visual arts.

"Anna Clyne is an artist who writes from the heart, who defies categorization and who reaches across all barriers and boundaries," commented CSO Music Director Designate Riccardo Muti. "Her compositions are meant to be played by great musicians and listened to by enthusiastic audiences no matter what their background."
