Anna Appleby
Anna Appleby is a Manchester-based composer. Her music often wrestles with socio-political and spiritual themes. She has written numerous orchestral, operatic, chamber, choral, vocal, electronic and dance works for a wide variety of professional and community ensembles. She has a particular interest in writing for the stage, and has drawn inspiration from choreographers in the way she works, building her pieces on the strengths and personalities of each ensemble she writes for. Collaboration is at the heart of her creative practice. Recent premieres include a new opera, Drought, with the BBC Philharmonic and a fanfare, To the Shore, to open Glyndebourne Festival.
