“Anna is everything I love about contemporary classical music. Long gone is the preconceived ‘stuffy’, gate keeping notions of a tragically long period where such music was solely for a certain demographic...
With a myriad of different violins, samplers, meandering vocals, beats, drum machines, and elegant long black leather, we are beautifully steered through tales from beaches, to women’s rugby, satellite construction, and the stars beyond.” - Flush the Fashion, November 2024
​
Anna Phoebe is a composer, producer, performer and broadcaster whose work exists at the intersection of classical, electronic, and experimental music. Renowned for her visceral, violin-led soundscapes, she crafts bold, emotionally charged works that balance raw human energy with cutting-edge sonic exploration. Drawing inspiration from both the natural world and technological frontiers, her music moves fluidly between intimacy and scale - from quiet meditations to cinematic intensity.
​
Anna’s solo albums, Sea Souls (2021), Sea Souls (Live) (2022) and Sea Souls (Reworks) (2023), are described as dialogues between the sea and the psyche – love letters to the sea, loss, and the shifting tectonics of emotion.
Her 2025 album, Divergence, is an anthology of sonic explorations rooted in the human experience – a deeply personal reflection on mortality, memory, and spiritual transformation. Many of its compositions began as site-specific works, written for performances shaped by landscape and architecture, later reimagined in the studio. Following a sold-out UK tour in 2024, Anna took Divergence to stages across the UK from November 2025 through to 2026, and released the Divergence (String Reworks) EP. In May 2026, she will play a solo show at the legendary Minack Theatre in Penzance.
Throughout 2026, Anna will be working on her third solo album where she explores her Greek/Levantine heritage. She recently featured alongside Anna Calvi, Jarvis Cocker, Rufus Wainwright, Beth Orton, Ed Harcourt and others for a performance to celebrate the release of Broken English, a film about Marianne Faithfull.
Since 2023, Anna has been collaborating with DJ Mary Anne Hobbs. Their debut performance took place at TATE Britain’s re-launch in 2023, where their improvised live set was celebrated by the gallery as a ‘living artwork’. Following this, they were invited to perform at the BBC 6 Music Festival in 2024, supporting The Smile. In 2025 they performed at Glastonbury as well as premiering their new work WHAT DO YOU WANT? at Manchester International Festival – an innovative freeform collision between live DJing, violins, electronics, voice and visuals, creating a multi-sensory experience – the end result being a fluid art form incorporating letters from the public.
As a composer for screen, Anna scored the hit Apple TV+ period drama series, The Buccaneers alongside Aisling Brouwer. Other credits include the Channel 4 documentary Surviving Dad; and ITV’s two-part Wear the Rose documentary. She won Best Composer at BAFTA-affiliated Underwire Film Festival for Belittled and was nominated for Best Composer for Harriet and the Matches. Her albums and scores have featured across Apple TV+, Channel 4, Netflix, ITV and the BBC, and have been championed by BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 3 and KEXP.
On BBC Radio 4’s Add to Playlist, which she co-hosts with Jeffrey Boakye, Anna’s warmth, curiosity and instinct for connection reach an audience of around a million weekly listeners.
A magnetic live performer, Anna has appeared everywhere from beneath the Pyramids of Giza to the Royal Albert Hall, from Glastonbury to the O2 Arena, arenas across the USA and festivals across the world. She is a Senator for the Ivors Academy, sits on the Ethics and Awards Committees, and is an ambassador for Young Voices.
At the heart of Anna’s practice lies the idea of unravelling – not as retreat, but as resistance. Her music opens a space to strip back the noise, to return to something raw and elemental.
