Much of Anna Lindemann’s music explores nature in its poignancy, absurdity, and complexity—from the musical depiction of the determined dung beetle in Garden Suite, which Anna began writing when she was eight, to recent explorations of music inspired from developmental biology systems in Bird Brain and Evo-Devo Music. Anna graduated magna cum laude from Yale College in 2009 with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology where she studied genes involved in the patterning of wing eyespots during butterfly development. Anna is currently pursuing an MFA in Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where she will continue to integrate music, film, and biology.
Anna has received awards for her musical compositions from ASCAP, MTNA, Collage New Music, the Pikes Peak Young Composers Competition, the Spokane Music and Allied Arts Festival, the Yale Sudler Fund for the Creative and Performing Arts, and the Yale Music Department Abraham Beekman Cox Prize. Anna has studied composition during two summers at The Walden School and one summer at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute as well as studying composition with her father Eric Lindemann and with Kathryn Alexander, Michael Klingbeil, Yevgeniy Sharlat, and Orianna Webb at Yale University.
Anna has found great fulfillment in artistic collaborations—writing the music for two ballets, theater, and film—and has an interest in tangible artistic creation that has taken the form of hats, paper friezes, architectural models, lights, and pottery.
