Anna Meredith
Straddling the different worlds of contemporary classical, art pop, electronica, sonic installations and film scoring, Anna Meredith’s work has been described as ‘genre-busting’. Her 2016 debut album 'Varmints' was heaped with praise, and she has been commissioned by such prestigious organisations as the BBC Proms, Edinburgh International Festival and the London Symphony Orchestra.
