Anna Freer
VIOLIN

Anna Freer is a musician and writer based between Adelaide, South Australia, and Zürich, Switzerland. She is interested in finding unique ways to tell stories through music and words and is passionate about bringing back our attention to nature, community, and joy.

Anna is a versatile and creative player, equally at home on the modern and the baroque violin, and is especially interested in the practice of self-accompaniment, being also a trained and accomplished singer. She does this as a solo undertaking, in chamber music settings, and as an educational output. In solo settings, she frequently combines ancient and contemporary music with texts and songs to create narrative-driven programs (The Long Way Home 2023, MAGNOLIA SEASON 2024-2025, LABYRINTH 2025), performing these recitals internationally. In chamber music settings, she has collaborated with various leading Australian vocal ensembles to create expanded programs for violin and voice (Woman, Divine 2023, B.A.C.H 2023). As part of her ambassadorship with Theresia Orchestra, she developed a workshop called SING/PLAY for musicians about historically informed self-accompaniment, which she has given in France and Switzerland.
