Anna Thunström is an interdisciplinary artist, who primarily expresses herself through her voice. In her artistic practice, she blends singing with immersive and interactive performing arts.

Specialising in Early Music, particularly Renaissance and Baroque, Anna sang professionally for several years with Dowland Works in London, an ensemble led by soprano Emma Kirkby. Realising that she wanted to explore how to express her voice beyond a traditional church setting, she decided to pursue a Master’s degree in Fine Arts in Contemporary Performative Arts.

Since then, Anna has expanded her practice as a singer and performing artist and her artistic work now focuses on immersive and participatory performances, where her singing becomes a part of a fuller experience. She often uses non-traditional venues, creating site specific work, where the inherent qualities of the space add to the theme, bringing Early Music into her work, inviting its atmosphere to meet a contemporary context and sharing her love for this music through new forms of listening and participation.

The subject of the music artworks Anna creates always stems from something that is close to her heart and invites the audience to also reflect on themselves. Rather than offering a predetermined interpretation, she creates spaces in which audiences can encounter the work in their own way. Their individual perspectives, responses and presence become part of the work itself.

Alongside her own productions, Anna also collaborates with artists from various disciplines, both as a singer and performer, as well as creating video- and audio works, writing texts and composing music. Across these different forms, she explores what can happen when voice, music, space and people meet and in creating encounters that invite reflection and may stay with the audience long after the work has ended.
