“Anna Webber’s music is the hidden room behind the bookcase, the clandestine passage from the upstairs study to a secret garden, the underground vault holding all the treasures that, once revealed, cause a sea change in how the House of Jazz is viewed.” -Bandcamp

A livestream will be available free of charge at 8pm on the day of the performance and archived for future viewing.

Anna Webber is a flutist, saxophonist, and composer whose interests and work live in the aesthetic overlap between avant-garde jazz and new classical music. Her music has been called “visionary and captivating,” (Wall Street Journal), and “heady music [that] appeals to the rest of the body” (NPR). She is a recent recipient of the Herb Albert Award in the Arts, a Chamber Music America New Jazz Works commission, and has been voted top of the tenor saxophone, flute, composer, and arranger “Rising Star” categories in the DownBeat Critic’s Poll.
