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 the recently-created environment for generating music based on the hierarchies of protein gradients that regulate the early development of flies. Anna is an Ecology and Evolutionary Biology major at Yale College and is currently taking a leave of absence from school to write music and create stop-motion animations for a biology-inspired multimedia project which will be performed when Anna returns to school for her senior year in the Fall of 2008.
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, Yevgeniy Sharlat, and Orianna Webb at Yale University.
Anna has found great fulfillment in artistic collaborations—writing the music for two ballets and a short film—and has an interest in tangible artistic creation that has taken the form of hats, paper friezes, architectural models, lights, and pottery.
