Anna Webber
Anna Webber (b. 1984) is a flutist, saxophonist, and composer whose interests and work live in the aesthetic overlap between avant-garde jazz and neoclassical music. Her performances and recordings bristle with compositional ideas and sophisticated improvisations.
In May 2021 Webber released IDIOM, a double album featuring both a trio and a large ensemble, and a follow-up to her critically-acclaimed release Clockwise. Wall Street Journal called Clockwise “visionary and captivating,” and it was ranked in the 2019 NPR Jazz Critics Poll. Her 2020 release, Both Are True (Greenleaf Music), was named a top ten best release of 2020 by The New York Times. She was recently named a 2021 Berlin Prize Fellow and was voted the top “Rising Star” flutist in the 2020 Downbeat Critic’s Poll. Webber is a 2018 Guggenheim Fellow and has additionally been awarded grants from the Copland Fund (2021 & 2019) among many others.
