Anna Heflin
Anna Heflin (1993) is a composer, performer, and writer who creates deeply researched intermedia works and staged performance pieces that incorporate text, theatrical elements, and multimedia components. Her large-scale pieces construct immersive, dream-like worlds, with non-linear narratives that thrive on musical and psychological fragmentation. Her works have been performed at Ostrava Days, Bang on A Can, Banff Centre, Arete Gallery, Spectrum NYC, University of Oregon, University at Buffalo, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM), and by S.E.M. Ensemble. Recent commissions include works for clarinetist Andrew Friedman (2021), Hats + Heels Duo (2022), and Duo Purla (2023). Heflin holds a B.M. in viola performance from UC Santa Barbara and a M.M. in viola performance from SFCM. For the past five years, she has lived in NYC, studying composition with Eric Wubbels. She will begin her D.M.A. in music composition at USC’s Thornton School of Music and move to Los Angeles in the fall of 2023.
